<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "First published in Great Britain in 2018 by Trapeze, an imprint of The Orion Publishing Group LTD."--Title page verso. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <b>Poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a collection of fairytales poetically retold for a new generation of women.</b> <p/> 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. <p/> 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. <p/> Complete with beautifully hand-drawn illustrations by Gill herself, <i>Fierce Fairytales</i> is an empowering collection of poems and stories for a new generation. <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> If you're not already familiar with Gill, you should be.
