Nenad Gugl: “Is it something urgent?”
Uroš Petrović: “I need a clever line about fairy tales—for the book cover.”
Nenad Gugl: “Fairy tales are dreams that memory chose not to forget.”
Uroš Petrović: “Whoa! I didn’t mean that clever. Was that ChatGPT?”
Nenad Gugl: “No, man. Google.”
Mina Kebin: “Can you at least tweak that fairy tale line a bit for the back cover?”
Uroš Petrović: “Yeah, I can tweak it, a bit.”
Fairy tales do more than entertain—they help sharpen focus and memory, spark imagination and critical thinking, nurture emotional intelligence, and boost language skills. All of this helps children succeed, not just in school, but throughout life. Long time ago, when wisdom and knowledge were shared through storytelling within communities, fairy tales were born for exactly these reasons. For centuries, they were a vital part of growing up, and each new generation created its own modern versions.
Now it’s time to discover the fourth seven Fairy Tales by Uroš Petrović.
