Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty - stories you love, and that we all think we know . . .

Turn the page, and discover these classic fairy stories, told the way they always should have been . . .

This collection includes the award-winning novella BEAUTY, as well as the superb novellas POISON and CHARM.
