Tales from the Brothers Grimm and the Sisters Weird

ebook

Welcome to a world of fractured fairy tales where Hansel and Gretel are horrible children who deserve to be baked and where Beauty is dismayed when her beloved Beast turns human. In the realm of the Brothers Grimm and the Sisters Weird, when the sky really does fall, Chicken Little becomes the leader of a religious movement, gets her own TV show, collects millions of dollars to build a theme park, and then makes off with the money.

This collection of hilarious, twisted fairy tales and tongue-in-cheek interpretations of more than a dozen favorite stories will have readers in stitches.
