In this exciting collection of modernised fairytales, all sprinkled with dashes of Australiana, twelve amazing stories challenge archetypes, reflect the sentiments of today, and offer magical insight on prominent issues. It’s time to believe again! "My heart has wings and I can fly. I’ll touch every star in the sky. So this is the miracle I’ve been dreaming of." CINDERELLA "If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy-tales and I like them best of all."
