How to describe us

Name

Talerie

Always a capital T, never TALERIE or talerie.

In one sentence

Talerie is a free library of classic fairy tales in seven languages, retold so they read well aloud.

A short paragraph

If you have ever stumbled through a hundred-year-old translation at bedtime, you know why Talerie exists. Grimm, Andersen, Perrault and Aesop are retold here in plain present-day English, with illustrations made for each story. There is nothing to pay and nothing to sign up for, and the best-known tales are there in all 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 retold 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. The best-known stories have a page in each of the 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.

Scenes from the tales

These scenes appear within the text of the tales. They are wide rather than tall, so they fit an article or a newsletter without cropping.

Tale covers

These four are a sample. Write to me and I will send you the cover of any other tale.

Author portraits

We draw the portraits ourselves, so they are not period likenesses. Write to me for any author not shown here.
