Booklist said, 'Chainani takes 12 time-honoured tales and overhauls their traditional tellings, adding an astonishing amount of depth and beauty in the process. Lush, transporting, and occasionally eerie, easily conjuring fantastical worlds... An intriguing and inclusive update for modern audiences.' For all lovers of fairy tales who seek alternative endings we are taken through horrifying and humorous, sweet and scary and of course beastly and beautiful, sly and subversive dangerous tales - Red Riding Hood, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, Hansel and Gretel, Beauty and the Beast, Bluebeard, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Rumpelstiltskin, and Peter Pan. And the best part about this edition is the full page colour artworks and other beautiful decorations throughout the text by Julia Iredale. A lovely big substantial heavyweight hardback, 324pp.
