About this audiobook

'This is not your Disney fairy tale. It is much, much better' Wilder's Book Review

Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty - stories you love, and that we all think we know . . .

. . . but what about the secrets hidden within them? Why would a prince fall in love with a woman in a coffin? Why would a queen try so hard to poison her step-daughter? And what is a fairy Godmother's real motivation?

Turn the page, and discover these classic fairy stories, told the way they always should have been . . .

This collection includes the award-winning novella BEAUTY, as well as the superb novellas POISON and CHARM.

'Brilliantly subverts the classic fairy tale'
