And this book just might be a key to finding our way back.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoes that sound absurd? Possibly--but then again, truth often does. Consider this: once upon a time, fairy tales weren't just bedtime stories to lull children into dreamland. They were sharp, dangerous things--maps to survival, warnings wrapped in wonder, truths dressed in fangs and feathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSomewhere along the way, we smoothed their edges. Declawed them. Turned them into pretty little distractions. And in doing so, we forgot something vital: \u003cb\u003efairy tales were never meant to comfort us.

Some will make you laugh. Some will gnaw at the edges of your mind. Some might unsettle you so thoroughly that you'll want to fling the book across the room. (That's fine. Just pick it back up when you're ready.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, you'll find talking beasts and treacherous bargains, hungry forests and broken promises. But more than that, you'll find mirrors: thirty different ways to see yourself, your world, and the precarious path we all walk. \u003cb\u003eThese are stories that know the darkness we live in. And more importantly, they know the way through.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003efaerie truth\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e is the kind of truth that looks like nonsense to the clever and folly to the powerful--until everything else crumbles and it's the only thing left standing.
