About the Author

Greetings to all those who love to read fairy tale stories!

My name is Valentyna Anufriyeva and I love to read and tell fairy tales: funny and sad, mysterious and strange, imagined and real stories, that happened in some other times or in other realms, or never happened at all, or about to happen as we speak!

I like to add educational elements to my stories, but I don’t like pushy didactics. That is why I add logic games, pictures for coloring, table-games for the whole family into my books and connect them with the plot. Thus, the readers can read, play and learn with pleasure.

The publishers are welcome to explore and contact me in case you need any additional details or are interested in publishing my stories in other languages kazky.office@gmail.com
