Traditional Fantasy Tales (Once upon a time...)
FANTASY WORLDS: Fantasy Stories, Traditional Tales, Enchanting Beings, Magical Worlds
Once Upon a Time, in faraway magical lands there were many unusual and fascinating beings. Adventure and excitement were in the air, encouraging us to explore the mysterious settings inhabited by dragons, elves, bayou spirits, dwarves, magic mirrors, and more.
If you enjoy traditional fantasy talesthat will whisk you away on a journey to imaginary worlds, this book will surely provide you with a pleasing reading experience. The morals of the stories touch on many significant aspects of our daily lives and relationships, such as:the pitfalls of strict conformity, the recognition of outer versus inner beauty, the benefits of positive thinking, the value of both education and life’s experiences, the impact of detrimental egoism, the harm of wearing societal masks, the importance of both tradition and change, and the eternal love for those who have passed away.

I don’t read a lot of fantasy books even though I love these kinds of stories. Seeing Tygo Lee’s bio, I had the feeling this might not be the typical read. I was right!
It doesn’t include all the blood-and-guts, sexual encounters, evil monsters and other things that are so common nowadays while some guys like me are into the more traditional fantasy. These were basically some very cool tales about this big, happy-go-lucky jack rabbit who meets up with a stressed-out lady, a really sweet little dragon girl who wouldn’t accept all the “you should or shouldn’t” things from the older, conservative dragons, and among others, my favorite, a super arrogant little boy name Payton who got put in his place by this old bayou spirit. Great!
And every story encouraged me to find my own personal message that could maybe help me live a little better in the years ahead. That’s the way fairy tales are supposed to be, isn’t it? Good fantasy, Tygo!

There are a huge number of fairy tales in this world. However, reading book after book, you have probably already noticed that some stories are surprisingly reminiscent of each other. Fairy tales, as a rule, have similar elements in the thread of their narrative. But Tygo Lee, using these literary building blocks, has created something special, unlike anything else I’ve encountered before.
To write fairy tales, you must have a special gift. This gift embraces a rich imagination and the ability to dream. Tales are not only capable of lulling children, but also educate, develop, and even sooth one’s soul at times.
On the pages of Fantasy Worlds, the author introduces readers to his wonderful scenarios full of mysteries and miracles. This magical universe is so vivid that we imperceptibly immerse ourselves into it, becoming participants in the adventures, trials, and victories of the heroes.
Fairy tales have no time and space boundaries. By the will of the author, the action takes place anywhere. For example, in The Dragon Empire, The Land of Translucence, or Flower Land, elves, dragons, mystical rulers, talking flowers, and charming animals create an enchanting atmosphere. They act according to their own laws of kindness and justice that help them to overcome any difficulties.
Each tale in this book has its lesson, a moral, if you like, but it is presented in such a delicate way that in fact, it feels like advice from a very close friend.
Having said that, why don’t you come and meet a few new close friends, in Fantasy Worlds. The messages they transmit will surely stay with you many years afterward.

Yes, these were definitely fantasy worlds and they were clean, wholesome reading that even my kids enjoyed when I read some of the stories to them. They liked the big jack rabbit story the most (A Jolly Encounter) because he was so bubbly and good-humored, and fun to listen to. For me, I enjoyed The Land of Translucence about Crystal Clear, the beautiful queen and ruler of the Barros who looked over and cared for her forest clan until one day she had a great fall from a tree and her body that was made up of thousands of tiny, sparkling mirrors shattered to pieces. She had taught them though that even when those we love the most are no longer here physically, they will always live on in our memories. This made me cry, thinking about my mother having passed away a year ago, and made me thankful to Tygo for reminding that she will never really be gone. A lovely book, with some wonderful fantasy worlds for us to wander into as we flip through the pages.

Magic, humor, and fantasy! What could be better! A fascinating book, bubbling over with freshness, novelty, and ease of reading. While being entertaining, the form of narration simultaneously offers food for thought and encourages us to leave our own world to enter into new ones. This is brought about by the author’s ability to envision alluring locations filled with bright, unusual inhabitants. The best part was the diversity and originality of the stories. "The Two-Faced Mirror" stood out for its complete relevance to today's society and the place of people in it in relation to our being tied to many silly norms of behavior. If you're looking for a great way to pass a weekend, give these tales a try. The author poured a lot of kindness, love, and creativity into these well-told stories, and it shows completely. All in all, this is a great collection of short tales, definitely worth the read.

Fantasy Worlds was a pleasant surprise for me during my usual browsing around for something different to read. It caught my interest right away, and I wasn’t disappointed. With lots of characters who come alive in your mind in a magical atmosphere, they´ll motivate you to reflect on what’s going on in your own life, mixing some humor in with the entertaining scenarios. Every story has its own message, with Tygo Lee creating a wonderful fantasy experience for the readers that resembles the fairy tales we’ve come to know and love ever since we were kids. For example, you’ll surely always remember the images of Rose from Flower Land along with Jolly the Jackrabbit. Did I mention there are some dragons too? Yes, dragons! That should be reason enough for you to give Fantasy Worlds a shot. I thoroughly recommend it.
