Description

Twelve dark and feminist retellings of traditional fairytales from Deirdre Sullivan, one of Ireland's leading writers for young people. These bewitched stories reimagine stories with brave and resilient heroines, drawing inspiration from the tradition of Angela Carter. In this collection, Cinderella and Rumpelstiltskin are given a witchy makeover, alongside eleven other retellings that explore themes of social justice, identity, and female empowerment. With its unique blend of magic and realism, Tangleweed and Brine offers a fresh perspective on beloved fairytales. This collection is well suited to readers who enjoy dark, thought-provoking fiction with strong female protagonists.
