Eighteen extraordinary authors devise all-new fairy tales: imaginative
reinterpretations of the familiar, evocative new myths, speculations
beyond the traditional realm of "once upon a time." Often dark,

with powerful secrets, great heroism, terrible villainy, sparks of
mischief, and a great deal more. Brilliant dreams and dazzling
nightmares with meaning for today and tomorrow...
