Faery tales

Classic fairy tales retold by Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy with black and white illustrations throughout.

Disappear to faraway lands of wicked witches, evil monsters and brave heroines in Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy's stunning collection of fairy tales.

Including her beautiful and haunting retellings of the Grimm classics Hansel and Gretel, Snow White and the Pied Piper of Hamelin, as well as other tales from around the world, and new stories of her own, this book will make you think again about once upon a time...

NOTE : This title collects together "Collected Grimm Tales" first published 1996, "Beasts and Beauties" published 2004, and "Rats' Tales" published 2012.

NOTE : A few of the tales contain quite dark imagery, such as a woman having her hands chopped off, and people dying in various ways. You may wish to shelve this in teen colls.
