Fairy Tales Today is a collection of picture books retelling classic fairy tales with a modern and humorous spin. My titles are beautifully illustrated by Erica-Jane Waters and Monica Carretero. I had great fun launching them with an event at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, and I’ll be bringing them to Linton Children’s Book Festival in 2016. I’ve written about re-imagining fairy tale characters for the 21st century over at Author Allsorts.
