Fairy Tales
You’re not too old for fairy tales! They are NOT at all like the Disney versions.
The Wise Woman and other stories George MacDonald
The Blue Fairy Book Andrew Lang
All the original fairy tales you could think of, from pretty much anywhere in the world, are in the Andrew Lang collections, but you can also look for collections of the Brothers Grimm tales, Hans Christian Andersen, Charles Perrault, or a non-Western collections of folk and fairy tales. There are many, many choices, for ALL ages.
