About this ebook
You will never read a fairy tale the same way after you read this hilarious collection of six stories told by the so-called villains, innocent bystanders and other victims of fairytale crime.
A kind and friendly but very hungry wolf, a lizard who is horrified to be turned into a footman (whatever that is), a grumpy princess who can't sleep, a slightly deaf king, a witch who runs the Happy Healthy Holiday Home, and a cow whose ploppies turn out to be magic after all ...
These stories have to be read to be appreciated! Just like in Beastly Tales, here we have Richard Tulloch writing at his best for younger readers: he's a master of turning a story on its head to create something completely new. Quirky, funny, and full of rhyming, alliteration and word play that will captivate beginner readers, Twisted Tales is a collection of stories that will delight parents and young children.
