Wrightales are a series of original, handbound fairy tales for intelligent grownups (who have never quite grown up) by writer and bookbinder Lisa Wright.

Each Wrightale is hand bound by the author in an elegant, personal edition that fits in your hand like a secret. Approximately 41/2" x 6", the books are printed on gold parchment paper, bound in a hard-cover cloth binding with a satin bookmark and accented with sumptuous handmade endpapers.

The fairy tales of Lisa Wright are rich in imagery and humor, illuminating aspects of life that were not relevant to most people when traditional fairy tales were first told—the search for happiness, recognizing that you have a choice in life, chooing a path, discovering your strengths, overcoming inherited burdens.

You can also listen to the tales read by the author in a free serialized PODCAST at podiobooks.com

Now available in a single volume collection! While not handbound, this is a handsome edition in hardcover or paperback. This collection of nine tales includes the story of a dream deferred, a fable about the search for the secret of happiness, and a Solstice story to chase the dark away. Available from xlibis.com.
