Once known, now largely forgotten, these empowering fairy tales have been brought together to inspire a new generation of readers. Discover heroines who outwit giants, fight evil, awaken sleeping princes and, of course, live happily ever after. With a foreword by Kate Pankhurst, author of Fantastically Great Women who Changed the World.

Chapters in this book include:- The Daring Princess (based on 'The Iron Stove' retold by the Brothers Grimm)- The Sleeping Prince (based on an old Spanish story 'The King Sleeping in his Bed')- Snow White and Rose Red (based on 'The Ungrateful Dwarf' by Caroline Stahl and its retelling by the Brothers Grimm)- Clever Molly (based on an old Scottish tale collected by Joseph Jacobs and Flora Annie Steele)- Kate Crankernuts (a Scottish fairy tale collected by Andrew and Nora Lang in the Orkney Islands)- The Nettle Princess (based on a story first written down by Karl Mullenhoff, later collected by the Brothers Grimm)- The Wise Princess (based on a very old English story that inspired William Shakespeare's 'King Lear')- Fearless Fiona and the Spellbound Knight (based on the story 'Tam Lin' which was originally sung as a Scottish Ballad)

Reviews for Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls

This book, telling us stories almost lost to history, is so exciting and so very different to the versions of the fairy tales available when I was young. * Kate Pankhurst * Children from 4 upwards will lap up these female-focussed tales of derring do, cunning and magic, with no a Prince Charming in sight. * The Green Parent * Inspirational, intriguing, and starring the feisty girls that time forgot. * Lancashire Post * A fabulously illustrated collection of eight forgotten fairy tales featuring girl who step outside their traditional roles, make their own decisions and empower themselves. * Carousel *
