Red in Autumn

The store of fairy tales, that ancient chamber where stories lie waiting to be rediscovered, holds out the promise of creative enchantments, not only for its own characters caught in its own plotlines; it offers magical metamorphoses to the one who opens the door, who passes on what was found there, and to those who hear what the storyteller brings. The faculty of wonder, like curiosity can make things happen; it is time for wishful thinking to have its due.

―Marina Warner, On Fairy Tales and Their Tellers
