SynopsisPoet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a collection of fairytales poetically retold for a new generation of women. Traditional fairytales are rife with cliches and gender stereotypes: beautiful, silent princesses; ugly, jealous, and bitter villainesses; girls who need rescuing; and men who take all the glory. But in this rousing new prose and poetry collection, Nikita Gill gives Once Upon a Time a much-needed modern makeover. Through her gorgeous reimagining of fairytale classics and spellbinding original tales, she dismantles the old-fashioned tropes that have been ingrained in our minds. In this book, gone are the docile women and male saviors. Instead, lines blur between heroes and villains. You will meet fearless princesses, a new kind of wolf lurking in the concrete jungle, and an independent Gretel who can bring down monsters on her own. Complete with beautifully hand-drawn illustrations by Gill herself, Fierce Fairytales is an empowering collection of poems and stories for a new generation.

Fierce and Fascinating, writings to empower
This was a Christmas gift for a family member who has experienced trauma and a subsequent failure of the systems that are, theoretically, designed to protect. They are a strong person, and I want them to see themselves in the poetry and prose of this book. Today, when they opened the wrapping, they said Gill is a writer they love.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Great book!
So beautiful and compelling! You’ll have to control yourself not to read eight through or go back a second time to absorb it. Thought provoking and entertaining as well!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
