Thinking of fairy tales

I first started making my own fairy tales when I was a young boy in Africa. My father worked as a medical doctor in Zambia and Tanzania, so we moved around a lot as children.

I have a little sister who easily got bored, so I used to make up stories for her. Her favourite doll was a cabbage pad kid called Carlos. I used to make stories about the doll and sing little songs on his behalf.

Today I am a father of two small boys who also like fairy tales. I love spending time with them, telling them stories that make them wonder about all the beautiful small things in life.

We all grow up too fast, leaving behind all the magic and mystery of fairy tales.
