Publisher's Synopsis

A beautiful hardback edition of Angela Carter's feminist retelling of fairy tales - masterful, seductive and luminous.

From familiar fairy tales and legends - Red Riding Hood, Bluebeard, Puss in Boots, Beauty and the Beast, vampires and werewolves - Angela Carter has created an absorbing collection of dark, sensual, fantastic stories.

'Magnificent set pieces of fastidious sensuality' Ian McEwan

'A quirky, original, and baroque stylist' Margaret Atwood
