About Short Fairytales

I am Tom, and I started Short Fairytales because I believe stories have the power to spark imagination, inspire curiosity, and create moments of connection. But as a busy parent, I know that finding the right story at the right time can be challenging. That’s why I built a collection of shorter fairy tales, ghost stories, sci-fi stories, and even minute mysteries — with a simple time-to-read indicator, so you always know if you have just enough time for one more.

Each story is available in multiple languages, making Short Fairytales perfect for bedtime, language learning, or just a quick escape into a world of wonder. I want to help parents everywhere create more magical moments with their children — without needing to flip through endless pages to find a tale that fits.
