'Are you fed up of Fairy-Tale Princesses waiting to be saved?
And do you want some decent heroines who aren't so well-behaved?
What if we gave The Little Mermaid, Sleeping Beauty and Snow White
Some brand new Happy Ever Afters... and an up-to-date rewrite?'
This is a children's picture book which takes down the concept of 'princess'. A sassy child narrator chooses six well-known fairy tales involving princesses. With simple rhyme and lively pictures she takes the stories apart with incredulous humour and charm. This is a book to inspire children of all ages and adults to to think beyond the superficial.
Well-known cartoonist Kate Evans takes a punchy pop at six 'classic' fairytales: The Princess and the Pea, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel and The Little Mermaid.
