A little literary film

Your child's universe

Your child's story is born gradually — one tale at a time. A single tale costs €47, and a book starts from five tales. The size of the future book and the timeline are agreed individually. You can also order a tale in digital format with QR-code access — text, or text with an artist's illustration.

Illustrations

An artist brings the tale to life with visuals.

A sanctuary of wonders within

In search of your true self

Every grown-up tale is its own story. A tale costs €59. You can order it printed as a postcard, or keep it digital — with or without an illustration — and access your fairy-tale world via a QR code.

"A human writing to a human"

We carefully gather the material, talk with you and create a deep, mindful story.

Works by our illustrators

This story will have not only an author but an artist too — and you can choose them. The portfolio lists the price of a single illustration. The number of drawings, the total cost and the timeline are agreed individually.

Our story

Victoria Ganeva is an author and someone who loves listening to other people's stories. This project was born from the belief that everyone — child or grown-up — has their own, the most interesting one in the world.

It all started with a niece, Katya. She is no longer a child, yet she has kept the gift of looking at the world with an explorer's curiosity. The very first story was once written for her. And then it turned out that more than just children deserve fairy tales.

— Victoria Ganeva

How is a tale created?

Once upon a time there was a child. A very important child. Because no others quite like them were ever made. They had their own habits, their own secrets and an utterly special laugh.

To get to know them better, we ask parents to fill in a brief. It helps us gather the details a whole world is later made of: character, dreams, funny little words, small feats and big discoveries.

Based on the brief we write the tale and send it to you for approval. Once the text is approved, an artist steps in and creates illustrations especially for this story.

Yes, we live in the age of artificial intelligence. But that is exactly why we still believe in the value of human imagination, human hands and a living view of the world. So every story of yours is written and drawn by people. Writing and designing a tale takes a few days. A book we give more time — its birth usually takes three to four weeks.

How is a tale created?

To see your story, we first gather material: it can be voice messages, texts from a Telegram channel, posts on a website, or other accounts of the person the tale is made for. If there isn't enough material, you can add to it by filling in a short brief.

Then we write the text. We believe that people should be written about by people — with genuine interest in what makes each of us unique.

The finished tale can be presented in different ways. We'll gladly hand it to an artist for illustrations. At the client's wish, AI tools can be used in the design.

Creating a tale takes about a week.
