Two fairytales turned....not on their heads but perhaps almost onto their sides.....a sixty degree turn. The illustrations are fabulous (and no, it's not a graphic novel but it might as well be.) It turns out that one woman can do what countless men failed to do by first burning the thorns and then kissing the Princess. No, much complaint was heard among reviewers that this was not a Lesbian retelling; she simply did what she had to do. And of course it wasn't the princess she was kissing......

But that is another tale.
