The inclusive LGBTQ+ fairytale collection that has grabbed headlines across the world!
Powerful princesses that slay giants,
and beautiful princes that find true love.
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes in these tales of old and new.
Celebrating a multitude of ethnicities, genders and sexualities, this sparkling collection of 17 short stories takes new and familiar fairy tales and reimagines them in contemporary and inclusive light.
The collection was originally published in Hungary, where the inclusion of LGBTQ+ characters sparked political controversy. It quickly became an important symbol in the fight for equality and against discrimination in Hungary and enjoyed a vast wave of support both within and outside the country.
