Kissing the Witch

This collection of thirteen fairy tales by acclaimed author Emma Donoghue takes familiar heroines and weaves them into unexpected alliances full of treacherous, sensual, and courageous moments. The characters, shedding their antiquated cloaks, traverse a new and seductive landscape where the Beast isn't always quite what he seems and Cinderella runs off with her fairy godmother. Using traditional patterns and rhythms, Donoghue showcases themes of power, transformation, and choosing one's own path in the world. A must-read for fans of feminist retellings and fantasy literature.
