Product Description

Once known, now largely forgotten, these empowering fairy tales have been brought together to inspire a new generation of readers. Discover heroines who outwit giants, fight evil, awaken sleeping princes and, of course, live happily ever after. With a foreword by Kate Pankhurst, author of Fantastically Great Women who Changed the World. Chapters in this book include:- The Daring Princess (based on 'The Iron Stove' retold by the Brothers Grimm)- The Sleeping Prince (based on an old Spanish story 'The King Sleeping in his Bed')- Snow White and Rose Red (based on 'The Ungrateful Dwarf' by Caroline Stahl and its retelling by the Brothers Grimm)- Clever Molly (based on an old Scottish tale collected by Joseph Jacobs and Flora Annie Steele)- Kate Crankernuts (a Scottish fairy tale collected by Andrew and Nora Lang in the Orkney Islands)- The Nettle Princess (based on a story first written down by Karl Mullenhoff, later collected by the Brothers Grimm)- The Wise Princess (based on a very old English story that inspired William Shakespeare's 'King Lear')- Fearless Fiona and the Spellbound Knight (based on the story 'Tam Lin' which was originally sung as a Scottish Ballad)
