The story “Beauty and the Beast” is well known to most people—or is it? In this retelling of the classic fairy tale, the dark details of the original story return. Readers who have only seen the famous movie will find the beast much harsher, but the goodness of the young woman who comes to know him remains enchanting. Richly colored images and illustrations accompany this tale as well as “The Goblin Pony,” "Tom Tit Tot," "The Goblin Pony," "The Jellyfish and the Monkey," and "The Strange Visitor." Though from other cultures, they offer the same eeriness of more familiar tales.

“Rapunzel” and “Cinderella” have both been imagined as movies with happy endings and positive morals. However, both stories began as haunting fairy tales long ago. In “Rushen Coatie,” a similar story to “Cinderella,” the wicked stepsisters don’t just end up without the prince, their toes are cut off! And Rapunzel’s witch? She sends Rapunzel to live in the desert! Though old, these tales will enthrall readers familiar with happier fairy tales and stimulate their imaginations with full-color images and illustrations. Other dark fairy tales from around the world, including "The Dragon of the North" and "The Demon with the Matted Hair," introduce readers to new tales of terror and woe.
