How to describe us
Name
Talerie
Always a capital T, never TALERIE or talerie.
In one sentence
The classic fairy tales, written again so they read well aloud. You can open any of them free, in seven languages.
A short paragraph
If you have ever stumbled through a hundred-year-old translation at bedtime, that is why Talerie exists. Grimm, Andersen, Perrault and Aesop are written again here in plain present-day sentences, with illustrations made for each story. Nothing to pay, nothing to sign up for, and the same tale is there in seven languages.
A longer piece
Talerie is a small library of the tales most of us grew up with: Grimm, Andersen, Perrault, Aesop. The old translations are heavy going when you are reading to a child, so the stories have been written again in ordinary modern language, and every one has illustrations of its own. Open a tale and start reading. There is nothing to pay, no account, no advertising. Each story has its own page in seven languages, so a child learning Spanish or German can come back to a story they already know in the language they are learning. There are printable coloring pages as well, and the texts are free for anyone to use.
Images
We draw every illustration on Talerie ourselves.
