    About this ebook

    Beasts and Lovers is a wonderful collection of provocative modern fairy tales.

    Frogs turn inappropriately into princes, an old hag pursued by social services reveals her true identity as a seductive Sheherazade, two brothers are brought face to face with the source of their savage longings, and three generations of secrets and lies are unravelled to reveal a healing truth.

    The stories explore our deepest fears and the surprising workings of the human heart, and shed light on the mysteries that lie at the roots of our very existence.

    Jane Corbett

    Jane Corbett has written both literary fiction and film scripts, several of which have been made into prize-winning feature and TV films. Following a postgrad film course and a prize at the Chicago Film Festival for her graduating film, she continued to combine writing with teaching. For several years she ran a Super 8 filmmaking course in central London, open to all comers, which fostered several interesting and successful young filmmakers. She now teaches at the National School for Film and Television and the Central Film School, learning as much from her students as they do from her. Writing film scripts is, she says, a collaborative activity with its own restrictions and advantages. The largely solitary writing of novels and stories is an interesting counterpart. Whilst it allows greater freedom for the writer, it lays on her the full responsibility for the success or failure of what she creates.
