Description

Fractured and Other Fairy Tales is a unique collection of sixteen fairy tales-some "fractured" classics, and some original stories-that offer new ways to understand familiar characters. William Thompson presents a series of often funny and sometimes dark tales that twist and shape traditional tales into something fresh and new. Whether it's Goldilocks meeting the three pigs, Red Riding Hood learning new ways to outwit the wolf, or Gretel starting up her own franchise, these stories are told in unexpected and captivating ways. There are not-so-familiar characters as well, such as the sly Mr. Fox with an appetite for geese, the seven ravens who need their enterprising young sister to save them from their father's curse, and a brave and clever girl who leaves home to see the world-and ends up saving a kingdom. Inspired by such writers as Thomas Wharton, Robert Paul Weston, and Jane Yolen, this collection reimagines many beloved fairy tales and provides new yarns that carry on a rich storytelling tradition.
