    About this ebook

    Happily ever after is a lie — when someone else tells your story.

    Fall into the dark, ancient world of fairy tales, but this time listen to the other voices. Not the princess waiting for a hero to come. Not the prince on his brave journey. Not the king we're told is wise.

    Listen to the wolves.

    Listen to the ugly sisters.

    Listen to the witches.

    They whisper the untold tales behind the fairy tales we grew up with.

    Fairer Tales is the first in a series exploring the unheard voices of ancient folklore and fairy tales, told with a compelling mix of prose, poetry and plays.

    Buy the book today, and change how you see these once-harmless tales forever after.

    **Trigger warning: Some tales contain strong language, violence, and inferences of abuse. These Fairer Tales are not for children.
