There is good news in the fairy tale world! The Australian Fairy Tale Society will be officially launched this June. The mission of AFTS will be to collect and preserve Australian fairy tales, as well as foster the creation of new work. The society also seeks to forge a network connecting those who engage with fairy tales as scholars, creative writers, visual artists, performers, and readers with a national website and yearly conferences.
