Where Two Worlds Dream Together
Fairytale fantasy rooted in Slavic myth & Australian soul
THE STORYTELLER
Writing at the edge of two worlds
I am Anamarija Mraz, writing as Mary-Anne Frost. My stories are fairytale bridges — born of Croatian roots and Australian earth, shaped by ancient myth and sun-bleached wonder.
This is the place where old magic meets new soil.

Step into a world where the everyday becomes enchanted. These are modern fairy-stories — some rooted in Slavic forests, some kissed by Australian sun, and some born simply from the magic of the human heart. Some are told in my native Croatian. Each one is a small doorway. Come and wander.
