Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"It is striking how Zur Mühlen’s tales speak to our times, challenging political oppression, systemic inequality, corruption, and untruths. By drawing attention to her work, Zipes demonstrates once again how fairy tales provide an alternative way of challenging authority and inspiring resistance to lies. . . . Zur Mühlen’s tales are narratives of truth that are powerfully enlightening and empowering to readers."---Larissa Rudova, European Legacy
"A curious corpus of radical political fairy tales—some available in English for the first time—authored by an extraordinary woman writer, a free spirit and a socialist, and a humanitarian activist rescued from obscurity via this important gesture of canon revision. . . . [A] delightful read."---Anna Kérchy, Marvels & Tales
