Stories the Grimm Brothers Never Told You
Prominent feminist author Barbara Walker has revamped, retold, and infused with life some of your favorite classic fairy tales. No longer are women submissive, helpless creatures in need of redemption through the princely male! Instead they are vibrantly alive, strong women who take fate into their own hands.
These twenty-eight imaginatively playful provoking stories, told with a large helping of whimsy, are rich with real-life morals about strength, selfishness, fairness, and survival. Cinder-Helle (Cinderella), Snow Night (Snow White), and Ala Dean (Aladdin), among others, turn their fairy tale characters into admirable archetypal role models for girls as well as adults. Some of these delightful stories give a surprising twist to well-known fairy tales, biblical stories, and Greek and Teutonic myths, while others emerge straight from the author's own rich imagination.
Witty, inspiring, and wonderfully feminist, this treasury includes evocative original line drawings that enliven these charming fairy tales.
