Fairytales of the Four Seasons

​

"Whichever season, whatever weather, three times a week they would see it through.

They hadn't always been aware of how precious these memories would come to be. And although they -- all four of them -- at the time thought it was an excellent way of lulling the smallest ones into sleep, whenever the book would open they all felt the serene, calming magic emerging from the pages. The adults would later come to long back to those precious moments (the way only parents feel time fly by) when they were all cuddled into the bed of the youngest. And their children would look back and wonder where that childhood magic had gone:

The fairytales that would unfold each of those nights, when they would open the book's compendium and decide which of the "Fairytales of the four seasons" to unravel next."
