Greedy Catap and the Land of Great Tus: A very grim fairy tale (Politically Incorrect Fairy Tales for Grown-Ups)

By Tori Dolia

A Fairy Tale for Anyone Who is Ready to See Through the Lies

This is not a bedtime story.
But it might be the most important story you read this year.

Told in the haunting style of the Brothers Grimm, Greedy Catap is a dark fairy tale for readers 13 and up - a brutal, symbolic retelling of the centuries-long struggle between Ukraine and its imperial neighbor.

Catap is no ordinary tyrant.
He was born from the very land he now wants to destroy.
Great Tus - the cradle of his culture, the mother of his tongue - is the one thing he cannot bear to see thrive without him.
So, he devours her.

Through grotesque scenes of looting, lies, and delusion, this fable explores how history is rewritten, how memory is stolen, and how resistance is born. Behind every symbol is a bitter truth:
Colonization disguised as brotherhood.
Violence dressed as salvation.
A motherland fighting not just for land - but for the right to remember who she is.

Greedy Catap is for teens and adults who want to understand the war in Ukraine beyond headlines - through metaphor that reveals more than maps ever could.
