Children Anthology

So you think you know the story of Little Red Riding Hood, the girl with the unfortunate name and the inability to tell the difference between her grandmother and a member of a different species? Well, then, try your hand at answering these questions: Which character (not including Little Red herself) is the most fashion challenged? Who (not including the wolf) is the scariest? Who (not including Granny) is the most easily scared? Who is the strangest? (Notice we’re not "not including" anyone, because they’re all a little off.) Who (no fair saying "the author") has stuffing for brains?

Un investigador que resuelve casos a partir de rastros en los insectos, una mujer acechada por un detective para desentrañar un misterio relacionado con la sangre, un hombre que sueña con cataclismos aéreos, centros siquiátricos que esconden historias escalofriantes, un asesinato colectivo que involucra a varios matrimonios, un espantapájaros que guarda los secretos de un grupo de niños, una pitonisa que sólo vaticina atrocidades, así como una guerra a muerte desatada en un pueblo durante la noche de brujas.

Existují i pohádky, ve kterých se nevyskytují pohádkové obludy, kde nevítězí mocné kouzlo či hrubá síla, ale navrch má rozum, moudrost a vtip. Hrdiny chytrých pohádek bývají lidé zdánlivě obyčejní, kteří se v životních zkouškách téměř vždy osvědčí jako lidé naopak neobyčejní, moudří a stateční. Posilují naše sebevědomí a připomínají nám, že k vítězství nad lží a nelidskostí nepotřebujeme čaromocný meč ani pohádkového dědečka, stačí mít kuráž, bystrý rozum a dobré srdce.
