Discover a collection of fairy tales unlike the ones you've read before . . . Once upon a time; in the middle of winter; a King sat at a window and sewed. As he sewed and gazed out onto the landscape; he pricked his finger with the needle; and three drops of blood fell onto the snow outside. People have been telling fairy tales to their children for hundreds of years. And for almost as long; people have been rewriting those fairy tales - to help their children imagine a world where they are the heroes. Karrie and Jon were reading their child these stories when they hit upon a dilemma; something previous versions of these stories were missing; and so they decided to make one vital change . . . They haven't rewritten the stories in this book. They haven't reimagined endings; or reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the genders. It might not sound like that much of a change; but you'll be dazzled by the world this swap creates - and amazed by the new characters you're about to discover.
