Lovingly called “Devil Babies” by Professor Ramdass, we are proud to offer you our collection of original tales and illustrations. What started as just a percentage of our grade became an anthology called “The Fae’s Mirror: Not the Classics” that then morphed into an entire website and soon a club at Baruch College, CUNY! Learn more about the devilish minds of ENG 3950: Fairy Tales & Folklore students!

NATALIA FLORES
Head of Production Management | Member of Editorial Team
Hi! I’m Natalia and I am currently a junior at Baruch, double majoring in English and Communication Studies. I used to be an Econ major, but I hated everything about it and realized my heart belongs in the books (so corny). I’m First Gen, my parents are from El Salvador, and I speak Spanish fluently. I enjoy looking in mirrors, having dance parties in my room, and spending time with my bunny, Benito.
