| Description: |
A collection of seven fairy tales for adults that offer a mix of wonder and cynicism, of magic and the everyday. Jennifer Rowe writes of the frivolous, funny and warmhearted, with a twist of reality to make them fairy tales for our times. |
| Synopsis: |
ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A SWEET AND PRETTY MERCHANT BANKER CALLED ANGELA ...Why should kids have all the fun? Times are tough for the grown-ups of this world. Don't we deserve the occasional happy ending, too? Put your feet up, pour yourself a drink and lose yourself in these funny, cheeky, perfect fables for our times. Discover how to test love with pizza and cheap wine in The Lonely Prince. Find out the incalculable value of a good hair day in Curly Locks. Follow the fortunes of sweet, ever-dieting Rosemary, heroine of The Fat Wife, of Angela, the merchant banker with a mandrake problem, and Jason, the city boy whose dreams of rural bliss fall foul of a troll. Whichever makes you laugh the loudest, you'll love these stories. A pinch of wickedness, a touch of magic, a heap of humour, and a lot of kindness-they're a treat. |
