Complete with beautifully hand-drawn illustrations by Gill herself, Fierce Fairytales is an empowering collection of poems and stories for a new generation. 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.
Instead, lines blur between heroes and villains. In this book, gone are the docile women and male saviors. Through her gorgeous reimagining of fairytale classics and spellbinding original tales, she dismantles the old-fashioned tropes that have been ingrained in our minds. Edited by Nursery Rhyme Comics Chris Duffy, this jacketed hardcover is a beautiful gift and an instant classic.
But in this rousing new prose and poetry collection, Nikita Gill gives Once Upon a Time a much-needed modern makeover. Seventeen fairy tales are wonderfully adapted and illustrated in comics format by seventeen different cartoonists, including Raina Telgemeier, Brett Helquist, Cherise Harper, and more. 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. Poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a collection of fairytales poetically retold for a new generation of women.
