About This Item
Toronto: Lester Pub, 1995. -----The scan you see is the book you get. Large soft cover, french flaps, clean tight and square, flat spine, ix + 132 pages, Near Fine condition. "In this singular & macabre collection of short stories, Priscilla Galloway gives eight traditional fairy tales very untraditional interpretations. For her readers, the familiar tales of Jacob & Wilhelm Grimm, Charles Perrault, and Hans Christian Andersen will never seem quite the same again. Each of her stories offers a perspective that is startlingly imaginative as well as profoundly disturbing. Fantastical, yet terrifyingly believable, these stunning tales are both homages to the great storytellers & commentaries on the evolving human condition." Contents include: Blood and Bone / The Prince / The Woodcutter's Wife / The Voice of Love / The Name / A Taste for Beauty / A Bed of Peas / The Good Mother. Check out the scans. . First Edition First Printing. Soft Cover. Near Fine. Illus. by Janet Woolley,. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾".
