Welcome to the fascinating world of books, where you can make friends, travel to wondrous places and think about things you'd never thought of before.

This book consists of 57 book reviews I wrote during 2020 as a blog. I have divided the content into twelve different sections each with a different theme, such as Victorian, Royalty, or Sicily.

Each review comes with an accompanying color illustration. This volume was designed and edited by Melissa Stevens of The Illustrated Author Design.

The title of this volume comes from one of my blogs Fairytale in the Ancient World by Graham Anderson which you can find in the Non-Fiction section of this book. Anderson's book argues that fairy tales (or folk tales) are much older than is commonly thought, some dating back thousands of years, like The Twelve Dancing Princesses which dates back to the time when The Tale of Gilgamesh was composed roughly 4,000 years ago.
