Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children,and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. This stunningcollection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariouslyfunny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world-from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies.Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and badgirls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters.This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black artsand dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique andmuch- missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with originalwoodcuts.
