Chapter Text
Dear parent,
In generations past, even the most popular children’s tales have been tainted by witchcraft, unfit for publication and young and tender well-born ears. These “fairy-stories,” as they have often been called, have inspired superstition and left even the youngest and most innocent boys and girls prone to the corruption of the Outsider and the dangers of an Errant Mind.
No longer. The Abbey of the Everyman is proud to offer this new collection of all the tales that you recognize from your youth and that are most beloved throughout the Isles – edited, rewritten, purged of all heresies or subliminal leanings, and deserving of a proud and prominent place on the bedside table of every respectable household
Children will always be fascinated by witches, wolves, noble maidens, and other fanciful figures. It is nigh impossible to discourage this behavior. Why not turn it into a learning experience? Consider reading a tale or two to your son or daughter every night. At the conclusion, discuss what lessons they can learn from it or which Stricture the story supports. Your child shall grow with their innocence, sense of wonder, and uncorrupted soul intact.
Happy reading, and may the Outsider never haunt your steps.
- Thaddeus Campbell, High Overseer
