Description
A Wild Swan And Other Tales by Michael Cunningham is a collection of dark and perverse fairy tales that reimagine the mythic figures of our childhoods. These stories explore the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed, revealing the years after a spell is broken, the rapturous instant of a miracle unexpectedly realized, and the fate of a prince only half cured of a curse. The book features four tales that are both sublime and unsettling, each one transformed by Cunningham's unique storytelling. From a poisoned apple to a house made of gumdrops and gingerbread, these stories are full of wonder and darkness. Exquisitely illustrated by Yuko Shimizu, this collection is not for the faint of heart. With its dark and perverse take on fairy tales, A Wild Swan And Other Tales is a worthwhile read for those who enjoy magical realism and short stories.
