Welcome to the archive of the ages.
The Timeless Library gathers stories lost in time, adrift between dreams and reality.
In their search for a voice and an audience, they pass through the hands of the Librarian, who compacts them, curates them, and prepares them for the quick wits and sharp schedules of the modern world.
Browse the collection to your heart’s content, dear guest, and add some magic to your life with the turn of a page.
