Traditional fairytales are rife with cliches and gender stereotypes: beautiful, silent princesses; ugly, jealous, and bitter villainesses; girls who need rescuing; and men who take all the glory.

But in this rousing new prose and poetry collection, Nikita Gill gives Once Upon a Time a much-needed modern makeover. Through her gorgeous reimagining of fairytale classics and spellbinding original tales, she dismantles the old-fashioned tropes that have been ingrained in our minds. In this book, gone are the docile women and male saviors. Instead, lines blur between heroes and villains. You will meet fearless princesses, a new kind of wolf lurking in the concrete jungle, and an independent Gretel who can bring down monsters on her own.

Complete with beautifully hand-drawn illustrations by Gill herself, Fierce Fairytales is an empowering collection of poems and stories for a new generation.

"You are the universe's fairytale come true."

O que dizer? Nikita sempre me deixa sem palavras.
Ela tem uma forma muito especial de derreter meu coração e me inspirar.

Através de releituras dos contos de fadas que tanto amamos, ela se esforça em passar a mensagem de que nós mulheres somos fortes, invencíveis, incríveis, lindas e que TODAS, em todas as formas que temos, guardamos uma toque de mágica dentro de nós.

É aquele tipo de leitura para te deixar com o coração quentinho e um sorriso no rosto.
