Ten epic stories of adventure and resilience featuring and celebrating LGBTQ+ narratives and heroes. Collected and adapted by Pete Jordi Wood and now published as a collection of queer classics for the first time.

These are the fairy tales that history forgot - or concealed. Tales in which gender is fluid and where queer stories can have a happy ending. From the humble sailor who finds his handsome prince to the transgender market girl who becomes queen, from Europe to Asia via the African savannah, LGBTQ+ folklore researcher Pete Jordi Wood has combed through generations of history and collected and adapted ten unforgettable stories featuring queer characters.
