"A wickedly funny book, starring the fairytale characters we love to hate"
Who’s the more interesting character? Snow White, or the wicked queen? And who’s got the more interesting back-story, Sleeping Beauty or the 13th fairy? The incomparable Kaye Umansky stands up for our favourite fairy tale villains in this collection, telling their stories with her trademark humour and verve.
Snow White’s stepmother is irredeemably, gloriously wicked, bored rigid by her stepdaughter and unrepentant even when found out. Cinderella’s stepsisters are just horrible, and, fascinatingly, unashamedly so. As for the 13th fairy and the witch of the gingerbread cottage, Umansky shows us that they were just misunderstood.
Her twists on the tales are very readable and very funny too and this collection is highly recommended.
This is Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel, re-told like you've never seen them before!
