This book, telling us stories almost lost to history, is so exciting and so very different to the versions of the fairy tales available when I was young.
Children from 4 upwards will lap up these female-focussed tales of derring do, cunning and magic, with no a Prince Charming in sight.
Inspirational, intriguing, and starring the feisty girls that time forgot.
A fabulously illustrated collection of eight forgotten fairy tales featuring girl who step outside their traditional roles, make their own decisions and empower themselves.
