This Is Not A Fairy Tale cover

This is not a fairy tale about brave knights and boring princesses. It is about a warrior princess, fighting a deadly dragon with a ferocious transformer!

A sequel to the acclaimed This Is Not A Bedtime Story by rising stars Will Mabbitt and Fred Blunt.

Sophie doesn't want a fairy tale about drippy princesses and pompous princes, she wants the princess to do the rescuing, with a ferocious, fighting transformer! Together Sophie and her dad revolutionise story time for a second time in this clever, funny and heart-ravingly exciting picture book, sure to inspire and delight every little girl and boy.

Storytime will never be the same again.

Refreshingly original, not to say subversive [. . . ] all hilariously picture by Fred Blunt in cartoon mode. -- Nicholas Tucker * The Independent *
the 'Perfect' Bedtime story for young Kidz [. . . ] 19,000,014 stars out of 5! -- Bex * KidzCooLit *
Bedtime stories go bonkers in this inventive, subversive version of a traditionally restful night time tale. Funny illustrations accompany the witty text, packed with humour and adventure, to amuse children and parents alike. -- N/A * Booktrust *
Subversive, witty and gently challenging all sorts of assumptions about the way things "have" to be, This Is Not A Bedtime Story [. . .] is the real deal when it comes to everything I want from a great bedtime read with the kids. -- Zoe Toft * Playing By The Book *
