ONCE UPON A TIME, WHAT IF...
What if the Sleeping Beauty left to make her own life?
What if Bluebeard's wife seized the opportunity for justice?
What if the witch truly loved Rapunzel?
What if Snow White learned the virtues of right rulership from the dwarves, and Jack learned wisdom from the giants?
In this provocative collection, Rebecca Buchanan (author of Asphalt Gods) re-examines classic fairy tales from Mother Goose, Charles Perrault, the Brothers Grimm, and other sources with a sharp and modern eye, deepening the impact of the original tales and often inverting the perceived moral. These re-imaginings show us not-so-noble frog princes, environmentalist knights, wicked witches revealed as wise women, the cynical politics of fairy godmothers, and unexpected humanity in the hearts of monsters.
Dig Deeper - Twist The Tales Around - Fairy Tales Are Revolutionary
Illustrated throughout with classic art by Harry Clarke, Walter Crane, Gustave Doré, Albrecht Dürer and others.
