Fairy Tales: The Villain's Version cover

The villains are the stars of the show in these four hilarious fractured fairy tales from queen of funny, Kaye Umansky.

A curse involving a spindle goes terribly wrong for poor old Grimbleshanks. The Queen decides it's time for silly, soppy Snow White to go. Lardine and Angula aren't at all happy about having Ella for a stepsister. Old Maggit just wants to win the Wickedest Witch Contest with her house made of sweets. This is Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Cinderella and Hansel and Gretel, re-told like you've never seen them before!

"[Umansky's] twists on the tales are very readable and very funny too and this collection is highly recommended" – LoveReading4Kids

"So much fun to read … Kaye Umansky has created a gift for teachers and people working with young people to read aloud to them" – Just Imagine
