Summary

Today's teenagers have enough problems to deal with. And that's where Sela comes in. She offers insight to their problems by showing them that it could be worse. She comes across one young person at a time and helps them through their problems, by telling them a story.

Sela gained her abilities and her book from a an ancient being and granted her powers for the sole purpose of helping humanity, even if her advice might sometimes fall onto deaf ears.

Sela has taken on many appearances and names, but one of her alternate identities that she frequently uses is Dr. Mathers, a teacher. Besides this, Sela is well known as apppearing as a young woman with long black hair and glasses.

Recentley, in Grimm Fairy Tales Annual #1, a new character has appeared named Belinda. She acts as a polar opposite to Sela, and rather then using fairy tales to help people, she uses them to make their lives worse. She briefly fills Sela's role as a storyteller to a group of small children at a school, and tells them twisted versions of Jack and Jill, The Old Woman Who Lived In a Shoe, Peter Peter Pumpkin Eater, Little Boy Blue, and Pinocchio. Pinocchio, Peter Peter, and Jack and Jill all suggest that Belinda had a hand in influencing them. When she finishes reading, all of the children are horribly tramuatized, except for one boy named Timmy. When he approaches Belinda and tells her that he liked her stories, he tells her that his mother's boyfriend has been doing bad things to him. Belinda tells him that she will help him, and her "helping hand" will be seen in #20, The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Belinda and Sela will fight in #22, The Snow Queen, and #23, Snow White and Rose Red.

As of 2007, there is a spin-off miniseries from Grimm Fairy Tales. Return to Wonderland, which is still running, and written by Raven Gregory.

Alice is no longer the little girl who fell down the rabbit hole and discovered Wonderland. Now an adult, she once tried to committ suicide by slitting her wrists. Mentally disturbed and in a dream-like state, her only link to reality is the disturbing white rabbit that she clings to.

Calie, not wanting to deal with her mother's mental illness, is now a substance-abusing, alcoholic, promiscuous party girl. The series will deal with the entire Liddell family, Alice's childhood, and Calie venturing into a darker and more frightening Wonderland than the one her mother knows.
