'Thought-provoking and charmingly rendered.' Guardian Imagine a
world where seductive male sirens lure brave heroines to their
death, where Icara and her mother fly too close to the sun, and
where beautiful men are forced to wed underworld queens... For
thousands of years, Greek myths have been told and retold. In these
stories, brutality and bravery are reserved for men, while women
are wicked witches or helpless maidens. Today, these myths continue
to shape our ideas about justice, tragedy and what makes a hero's
journey. Karrie and Jonathan love these stories, and have found a
way to breathe new life into them by making one crucial change...
Following the incredible success of Gender Swapped Fairy Tales they
have taken that same simple step. They haven't rewritten the
stories in this book. They haven't reimagined the endings, or
reinvented characters. What they have done is switch all the
genders. You'll be enchanted by the refreshing world this swap
creates - and thunderstruck by the new characters you're about to
discover.
Once upon a time, in the middle of winter, a King sat at a window
and sewed. As he sewed and gazed out onto the landscape, he pricked
his finger with the needle, and three drops of blood fell onto the
snow outside . . . 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.
