Welcome to Craft a Tale, where timeless stories meet a modern twist!
Founded in 2024, Craft a Tale began with a successful Kickstarter campaign fueled by a passion for creating enchanting, personalized books. We specialize in reimagining classic tales with a unique twist, turning them into magical adventures that delight children and adults alike.
Our books are carefully made and printed in the United States and currently shipped exclusively within the U.S. However, we're excited to expand our reach to more countries in the near future. Stay tuned as we grow our delivery options!
Craft a Tale books are available in English, Spanish, and French, bringing magical storytelling to a diverse audience. Each book combines vibrant artwork with engaging narratives, ensuring that every page is as captivating as the last.
