A treasury of fairy tales with a difference – feminist, sparky and set in different decades of the 20th century, with funky clothes and recognisable settings.A stunning collaboration between the brilliant illustrator David Roberts and his talented writer sister Lynn. This special collection includes: a feminist Sleeping Beauty, set in the 1950s (and 2950s), in a story populated entirely with women and girls (no princes needed here!) a 1970s Rapunzel whose friend plays in a rock band a 1920s-set Cinderella with flapper girls and a fashion-conscious fairy godmother. These are all deliciously, delightfully different takes on the fairy tales we all know.
