An Ogre's Eye View Retold Fairy Tales from Award Winning Writers [Preview at http://bit.ly/dhMhHW] Hundreds of years ago people both young and old liked to gather before the hearth and listen to marvelous stories on long, cold winter evenings. Fairy tales were scarier then, and the heroes and heroines were more interesting. Did you ever wonder how the dwarves felt after Snow White ditched them for the prince? Do you sometimes wish Cinderella hadn't been so helpless and petite? Are you ready to hear the Giant's point of view on Jack and his beanstalk? These new versions of classic fairy tales are NOT the fractured fairy-tale picture books. Irreverent, poetic, and thrillingly evil. Don't miss this one!
