There are a huge number of fairy tales in this world. However, reading book after book, you have probably already noticed that some stories are surprisingly reminiscent of each other. Fairy tales, as a rule, have similar elements in the thread of their narrative. But Tygo Lee, using these literary building blocks, has created something special, unlike anything else I’ve encountered before. To write fairy tales, you must have a special gift. This gift embraces a rich imagination and the ability to dream. Tales are not only capable of lulling children, but also educate, develop, and even sooth one’s soul at times. On the pages of Fantasy Worlds, the author introduces readers to his wonderful scenarios full of mysteries and miracles. This magical universe is so vivid that we imperceptibly immerse ourselves into it, becoming participants in the adventures, trials, and victories of the heroes. Fairy tales have no time and space boundaries. By the will of the author, the action takes place anywhere. For example, in The Dragon Empire, The Land of Translucence, or Flower Land, elves, dragons, mystical rulers, talking flowers, and charming animals create an enchanting atmosphere. They act according to their own laws of kindness and justice that help them to overcome any difficulties. Each tale in this book has its lesson, a moral, if you like, but it is presented in such a delicate way that in fact it feels like advice from a very close friend. Having said that, why don’t you come and meet a few new close friends, in Fantasy Worlds. The messages they transmit will surely stay with you many years afterward.

Yes, these were definitely fantasy worlds, and they were clean, wholesome reading that even my kids enjoyed when I read some of the stories to them. They liked the big jack rabbit story the most (A Jolly Encounter) because he was so bubbly and good-humored, and fun to listen to. For me, I enjoyed The Land of Translucence about Crystal Clear, the beautiful queen and ruler of the Barros who looked over and cared for her forest clan until one day she had a great fall from a tree and her body that was made up of thousands of tiny, sparkling mirrors shattered to pieces. She had taught them though that even when those we love the most are no longer here physically, they will always live on in our memories. This made me cry, thinking about my mother having passed away a year ago, and made me thankful to Tygo for reminding that she will never really be gone. A lovely book, with some wonderful fantasy worlds for us to wander into as we flip through the pages.

I don’t read a lot of fantasy books even though I love these kinds of stories. Seeing Tygo Lee’s bio, I had the feeling this might not be the typical read. I was right! It doesn’t include all the blood-and-guts, sexual encounters, evil monsters and other things that are so common nowadays while some guys like me are into the more traditional fantasy. These were basically some very cool tales about this big, happy-go-lucky jack rabbit who meets up with a stressed-out lady, a really sweet little dragon girl who wouldn’t accept all the “you should or shouldn’t” things from the older, conservative dragons, and among others, my favorite, a super arrogant little boy name Payton who got put in his place by this old bayou spirit. Great! And every story encouraged me to find my own personal message that could maybe help me live a little better in the years ahead. That’s the way fairy tales are supposed to be, isn’t it? Good fantasy, Tygo!
