Synopsis

Welcome to the world of fairy tales...only these are not just any old fairy tales. These fairy tales come with a Christian truth. C.S. Lewis once said that we learn much better from stories than from fact. That is the purpose of these tales. Take an old, well known fairy tale and retell it from a Christian perspective and you have a Christian truth that stays with you. Children love to listen to these over and over. Each time they do, a Biblical truth is implanted into their brain.
