Kitty’s Curator Guide: A Golden Thread of Folklore, Myth, and Magic

  • A Rainbow of Enchanted Editions
    Antique fairy story books—particularly those from the 1970s and earlier—are renowned for their breathtaking artistry. Our collection features the iconic Andrew Lang Fairy Books, famous for their full-colour illustrations and their vibrant bindings in blue, pink, and every colour of the rainbow. These volumes are more than books; they are gateways to the "wondrous" realms of the imagination.
  • Wondrous Creatures & Timeless Tales
    Within these pages, you can find exciting tales of fire-breathing dragons, mischievous elves, and goblins that run amok. Whether you are seeking traditional fairy tales like Cinderella and Snow White, or childhood favorites like Jack and the Beanstalk and Dick Whittington, our archive offers both beautifully illustrated and rare editions that have been cherished for generations.
  • The Golden Thread of Human Experience
    Myth and fantasy are essential parts of the human experience—a golden thread that has linked humankind through storytellers throughout the centuries. Many of these ancient myths and folk tales have been passed down through time and remain as deeply loved by children today as they were when they were first spoken aloud.
  • A Curated Selection of the Fantastic
    Kittys Tales offers a broad selection of vintage and antique fairy tale books for sale, alongside scholarly works on myth and folklore. Each volume is hand-picked from the heart to ensure you can explore these re-imagined stories and traditional legends with total confidence in their character and quality.
