Join Doctor Fairytale and her sidekick Nurse Pup as they visit poorly fairytale patients who need their help! "My name is Doctor Fairytale, I'm always super busy. My list of patients is so long, it sometimes makes me dizzy!" In a magical land full of familiar faces, Doctor Fairytale and her dog, Nurse Pup, travel far and wide to help the injured and poorly! Rapunzel's head is hurting from her mother climbing her long locks, Goldilocks has splinters in her bottom from the Bears' broken chairs, and Cinderella has blistered toes from walking home without a shoe! But no matter the bump or bruise – and no matter how mischievous the patient! – kind and capable Doctor Fairytale is ready with her doctor's bag to lend a helping hand.

Hoang Giang was born in Dalat, a small highland city in Vietnam, before she moved to Ho Chi Minh City to pursue a career in illustration. Hoang says that "back then, there was almost no definition for such a career. Working as a freelance illustrator was equal to unemployment; at least, that was my parents' point of view." She was a self-taught illustrator until she found herself lost in the middle of nowhere, which is to say, an ‘art block’. She took a break and spent a year in Cambridge, UK in 2016 to study an MA in illustration and book arts. This course helped her a lot. Hoang gradually found her voice, not only as an illustrator but also as a storyteller. Her strength is that she always has fun while working. She tends to make her characters as lively as possible, because to her, after all, the story belongs to the characters themselves.
