AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Once upon a time, a fairy tale queen was lost in an enchanted sleep, fighting monsters in an endless nightmare realm. Now she's home: her sons are all grown up, her husband is a tree, and none of her Royal gowns have enough pockets for all her weapons.

'Once upon a time, a boy reporter fell in love... only to find out he's actually a prince, and it's bad form to have a royal bodyguard as your boyfriend.

'Once upon a time, a princess ran away. But you can't escape your family forever, especially when they travel by magic beanstalk.

'The fairies are closing in around Castle Charming and this time, they're taking no prisoners. All they want you to do is make one wish, to make everything better.

'Close your eyes. Make a wish.'
