Who told you that fairy tales are only for children? Right.
You might well say that I'm nothing but a mere teenage girl with a childish,
juvenile, immature (or any other word that could suffice your preference) mind,
but, the fairy tales that I'm about to share are a bit different, I suppose.
And these kinds of books are just the perfect ones that I
gobble up (no, I’m not a monster) to indulge my fancy. Alright, I will not
waste any more time. I thereby introduce you to one of my favorite publishers:
Simon Pulse! (An imprint of Simon & Schuster.)
You might have heard it before, indeed, but I especially
love their Once Upon a Time series. As its name implies, it's a retelling of
those classic fairy tales we loved a great deal as a child. The protagonists are
mainly heroines, and, as far as I've read, here are the themes: Romance,
Fantasy, Happy Ending and Magic.
Unfortunately. I've only read two of their books yet,
namely:
Golden (A retelling of Rapunzel.)
Beauty Sleep (A retelling of Sleeping Beauty.)
Both books were written by Cameron Dokey, by the way. And,
mind you, her writing style is so amusing, that I never got bored in any part
of her books.
Indeed, they're just basically the usual stories, but, with
a marvelous twist-- and that's the very thing that makes it enthralling, unique
and simply, worth a read.
I assure you, if you love fantasy with a hint of romance,
disappointment will not hit you.
