Fairy tales with a comic twist

Six familiar tales—among them Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, and Little Red Riding Hood—are recast in rhyming verse, with unexpected turns that challenge the stories’ customary outcomes. The collection’s dark comedy and irreverent approach make the familiar plots the material for playful retellings, while a surprise ending gives the book a final change of direction. Its compact 48-page format brings these adaptations together in one short collection.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children aged 4–8 interested in fairy tales and folklore.
  • Young readers who enjoy rhyming retellings of familiar stories.
  • Adults seeking a comic take on classic tales to share with children.
