Griselda Heppel

    Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of European fairy tales and folklore, this author crafts narratives imbued with magic and storytelling. A keen observation during her studies revealed that while many great world legends have been adapted for children, others, such as Dante's Inferno and the Faust legend, remain largely unexplored for younger audiences. Her work focuses on reimagining these classic tales, weaving in elements of history, magic, and psychological depth. Through her distinct narrative voice, she delves into themes of ambition, evil, and the human condition, inviting readers into dark yet adventurous worlds.
