Dame Darcy's Frightful Fairy Tales

Feisty and fierce, the heroines in these six stories are no dithering damsels in distress. Dame Darcy has given the classic form a new twist, with assertive, sometimes aggressive female protagonists who make their own decisions and fight for them. Each tale is generously illustrated with line art in Dame Darcy's trademark style, which is reminiscent of both John R. Neill, illustrator of L. Frank Baum's Oz series, and Edward Gorey.
