I tend to read fairy tales all year long, because I really enjoy reading clever adaptations of the classic tales.

March 16-22 is World Folk Tales and Fables Week.

Why is this important? Folk tales and fables are stories rich with cultural detail that have been passed down through generations, often orally (until someone finally wrote them down). The original teller is often unknown, the tales morphing as they stretch across countries and continents.

Disappointingly, we still have to wait until November to read Winter, the final book of the Lunar Chronicles series.
