Content: " People have been telling fairy tales to their children for hundreds of years. And for almost as long, people have been rewriting those fairy tales - to help their children imagine a world where they are the heroes. Karrie and Jon were reading their child these stories when they hit upon a dilemma, something previous versions of these stories were missing, and so they decided to make one vital change.. They haven't rewritten the stories in this book. They haven't reimagined endings, or reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the genders. It might not sound like that much of a change, but you'll be dazzled by the world this swap creates - and amazed by the new characters you're about to discover. "

Rezension(3): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: August 30, 2021 Fransman ( The House That Groaned ) and debut author Plackett reflect a world in which gender roles are not so strictly defined in this charming collection of 12 lightly retold fairy tales. In “Handsome and the Beast,” it is the beautiful son of a female merchant who encounters a female Beast. A princess who’s out hunting wakes a sleeping prince in “The Sleeping Handsome in the Wood.” While some of the gender changes are more whimsical—it is a rooster who lays the golden eggs in “Jacqueline and the Beanstalk”—outside of the gender bending, the beats of the stories themselves remain exactly the same: Snowdrop’s vain evil stepfather still tries to kill him once with laces, once with a comb, and finally with a poisoned apple, and Thumbalina—now Thumbalin—still finds his home among the flowers. There’s nothing radical here, and though the authors discuss trans and nonbinary identities in their introduction, they’re not explicitly present in the tales themselves. But even these mild revisions breathe fresh air into well-known and loved tales, breaking up conventional dynamics and outdated ideologies. Coupled with vibrant illustrations from Fransman, this is sure to enchant adults and children alike. Agent: Sophie Lamber, C+W Agency. " Rezension(4): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 1, 2021 As the title states, graphic novelist Fransman and creative technologist Plackett, a married couple, have used an algorithm to swap the names, pronouns, and other gendered language in Andrew and Nora Lang's renowned Fairy Books without changing any other wording. Rapunzel grows a lengthy beard for a brave princess to climb, and a tigress-like beast keeps Handsome entertained in her enchanted castle. Fransman and Plackett's clever and revelatory revisions breathe fresh life into familiar stories as girls outsmart their foes and slay monsters while princes are allowed to express their anxieties and fears with a good, healthy cry. Each tale is illustrated with Fransman's dynamic watercolors. In the helpful opening pages, the authors acknowledge that gender is more complex than feminine versus masculine,"
