Grimm Stories & Other Faery Tales

“Snowdrop is more beautiful by far. Sorry.”
“Snowdrop? Snowdrop? Snowdrop is dead!”
“Dead she may be, but she's still prettier than you.”
“How can she be prettier than me if she's dead?” hissed the Queen.
“Can't say. Have you been letting yourself go a bit?”
In this collection of seven short stories based on traditional fairy tales, you will learn how Hansel and Grettel were ultimately responsible for a whole kingdom sleeping for a hundred years, and that not all princesses marry Prince Charming, or any other passing prince. Did Goldilocks really get away with vandalising the Three Bears' house, and shouldn't we recognise Jack for what he was- a burglar and a thief? In some cases,these stories are more Dahl than Disney; spend an hour or two reading tales you thought you knew, and perhaps crack a smile or two.
