Once upon a time being, forever and ever ago, there lived a forest tall
of tales...? When an innocent princess wanders into the forest, she
finds herself trapped between a wolf with a ravenous appetite and a
sweet little house with a secret. Meanwhile, a desperate fisherman
enters into a very bad bargain with a power-hungry monkey. And
meanerwhile still, a tiny tricksy tailor promises a promise that not
even the most magic of beanstalks can help him escape.
In this rich and rambunctious tapestry of tales, satirist Shaun Micallef
unravels the traditional fairy story and nimbly weaves your favourite
characters into new and surprising adventures. Including a PDF
illustrated by award-winning artist Jonathan Bentley, this subversively
silly trilogy will captivate parents and children alike - and indignant
fairy tale authors too. More grim than Grimms', less soppy than Aesop.
