About Marina

Fairy Tales are Overflowing my House

Let me introduce myself. I'm Marina, perhaps the world's strangest storyteller. Strange, because while I try to avoid them, fairy tales insist on chasing me — even in my sleep! Has it ever happened to you?

They pop up everywhere: from a forgotten scent in a drawer, a lost baby sock on the street, a lit window in the night.

I tried to hide them all! But they've piled up so much, they no longer fit even in my own home. So, I had to tell them to share with others. And soon after, to illustrate them.

First and best, I drew the tale of Christian in the Land of Coo.

Now, with his strong wings, he can fly wherever he wants—to children all over the world.

If you're a child from 5 to 105 years old and want to hear his story, I'll tell you a secret: It's full of stubborn and chatty birds that might become your friends forever.

A fire is hidden in everything you see
