Description

A girl comes face-to-face with a not-so Big Bad Wolf, a monstrous princess is locked away on a deserted island, a girl gives up on kissing a frog: Annet Schaap adapts seven well-known fairy tales into inspiring stories about girls with their own dreams and desires.

These are no damsels in distress, but real girls of flesh and blood - who certainly don't need rescuing.
