| book description |

â€˜And they all lived happily ever afterâ€¦â€™ or so we are told in folk and fairy stories when we are young â€“ but then we grow up and realise that life isnâ€™t all roses and happy endings. Life is hard, life is brutal, life is raw and we just have to pick our way through it the best we can.

Each tale is expanded and the world built around them, bringing them to life, each posing a different moral question. Itâ€™s not all serious, but take heed of the lessons they teach, and use them to avoid an unhappy ever after of your own...
