Description

The Modern Fairies is a dazzling novel inspired by real events, about the delights and dangers of storytelling in dark times. Set in 17th-century France, the story revolves around a group of intellectuals who gather at a Parisian salon to debate and perform fairy tales that challenge the status quo.

As they weave tales of glass slippers, enchanted beasts, and long-haired princesses, a wolf lurks, threatening to destroy the members of the salon one by one. With its blend of wit, intelligence, and provocative romance, this novel is a delectable confection of many-layered pleasures.

A story of stories, storytellers, and the lurking dangers of fairytales, The Modern Fairies is a memorable and thought-provoking read that reminds us of the enduring power of storytelling to transform and even save lives, then and now.
