Description

Once upon a time... happily ever after turned out differently than expected. In this new, feminist, queer fairy-tale collection, you'll find the princesses, mermaids, knights, barmaids, children, and wise old women who have been forced to sit on the sidelines in classic stories taking centre stage.

A gorgeous all-new collection in graphic novel format from a Stonewall Honour-winning author and artist.

What if the giant who abducted you was actually thoughtful and kind? What if you didn't want to marry your handsome, popular, but cold-inside suitor? What if your one true love has all the responsibilities that come with running a kingdom?

Award-winning author Melanie Gillman's phenomenal coloured-pencil art creates another ever after for the characters who are most worthy of it.
