An explosion of ideas!
Holly Jane Rahlens’ spellbinding book of feminist fairy tales from a far future.
Illustrated by 10 future illustrators.

Holly-Jane Rahlens unleashes all her expertise and creativity with each of these highly original fairy tale retellings. Whether it be Cinderella, Rapunzel or Little Red Riding Hood, she skillfully teases the essence out of each tale, reimagining it with an intriguing, futuristic perspective.

These are stories of subtle humor, emotional truth and inventive spirit, yet each one is defined by its own style, genre and narrator, whether it be a diary, a short story, screen play, or blog. And remarkably, right before our eyes, a complex but heartening future world emerges that will resonate with readers of all ages.

An innovative fairy tale collection for lovers of storytelling everywhere!
