Synopsis

A collection of twelve stories for older readers, all inspired by a love of the fairy tale. Some are new stories written in the classic styles of Grimm and Aesop. Others offer different views of the stories you know so well. Still others reset the story in the present, in both style and location. All share the themes of magic and heroes and animals that speak. -A prince runs off to avoid a fairy’s prophesy that he will marry an old woman, and finds escape more difficult than he imagined. -A prison guard captures a woman who carries a magic key. But who is she there to free? -A lighthearted look at poor Jack’s predicament, sued for damages after chopping down that beanstalk. -One of the world’s most esteemed musicians fears the magic he may unleash if he gives in to the temptation to perform. The acclaimed authors who brought you the science fiction anthology OUT OF TIME reunite in this unique, diverse collection of tales set all over the world and across the centuries. All proceeds from this collection will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.
