- Summary:
-
Revisits the Brothers Grimm's tales from an adult perspective, just in time for the centenary celebrations of the publication of Grimm's fairy tales. A fusion of classical fairy tale with contemporary social issues. Satiric, witty, thought-provoking. Enhanced by brilliant line drawings by Leszek Hermanowicz. Adult fairy tales - not for the faint-hearted, indeed! Valerie Volk has transported and adapted many of the classic Brothers Grimm tales into a modern context, demonstrating that the "real" can sometimes be more bizarre and horrific than the imaginary.
