Now in paperback! When the repulsively ugly Coddie unintentionally saves
a fairy from a spell, she does not understand the poisonous nature of
the wish granted her by the fairy. The village folk no longer see her as
repulsive and stinking of fish--they now perceive her as magnetically
beautiful--which does not help her in her village. A young local lord
saves her, but it soon becomes apparent that Coddie's destiny may be far
greater than anyone ever imagined. Caustic and flamboyant, this fairy
tale offers grownups an engrossing take on the nature and corrupting
power of beauty, in our age of obsession with it.
