Or at least that’s what Official sources say. But what tales do insiders tell? What secrets lie buried deep inside Davey Jones’ Locker?What, dear reader, about The Unfairy tales?
The stories the Knight-in-Shining-Armour and the Damsel-in-Distress have never wanted you to know. Tales which Fairyland had kept locked up in secret and thrown away the key. Until our rogue bard went back in time and ferreted out skeletons hidden within secret cupboards of desolate mansions.
Our fearless crusader of truth and justice brings to you the second volume of revelations from fairyland.
You will find five more unfairy tales hidden within the pages of this tiny tome, the sequel to Carthick’s Unfairy Tales. Stories of elves out to decipher the ways of men and dwarves seeking to reclaim their own histories. Of spurned witches and lost wolves. These stories are going to change everything you have ever believed about fairyland and give you a peek underneath the gossamer threads of glamour and magic peddled by the Fae.
My Review:
And T.F. Carthick has done it again. Taken five more fairy tales and turned them upside down. Well not exactly upside down, but looked at them from a different character’s point of view.
In this second book of the series he has chosen five popular fairy tales:
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
The Beauty and the Beast
Red Riding Hood
Rapunzel
The Shoemaker and the elves.
Have you ever heard these stories from the dwarfs point of view or thought about what the witch felt at losing Rapunzel, the only child she had ever known?
I read this book at the end of a long tiring day and within minutes I was laughing out loud at the dry wit with which the book is peppered. I could not put it down and finished it in one go. The author has a knack for getting inside the character’s heads and making them come alive, be it the wolf in Little Red Riding Hood or the elves in the Shoemaker and the Elves.
A thoroughly enjoyable book!
