Step into enchanted worlds where brave girls outwit monsters, witches weave dark spells, and familiar fairy tales take unexpected turns. In this lyrical collection, former Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy reimagines classic stories like Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, and The Pied Piper, alongside lesser-known tales and original creations. Magical and unsettling, these retellings invite readers to see “once upon a time” in a whole new light.
