A stunning collaboration between the brilliant illustrator David Roberts and his talented writer sister Lynn. This special collection includes: a feminist Sleeping Beauty, set in the 1950s (and 2950s), in a story populated entirely with women and girls (no princes needed here!) a 1970s Rapunzel whose friend plays in a rock band a 1920s-set Cinderella with flapper girls and a fashion-conscious fairy godmother. These are all deliciously, delightfully different takes on the fairy tales we all know. Show more
