The content within this volume includes thoughtful essays addressing the concept of happiness as presented in fairy tales and literature, exploring the disparity between romanticized views of life and the complexities of real-world experiences.

Through various literary forms, the journal seeks to provide both entertainment and enlightenment, inviting readers to consider profound questions about human existence.
