You may think you know their story. Snow-White stays quietly at home, Rose-Red opens the door to a bear, and everything ends with two princes and two weddings.
But who decided that was the ending the sisters wanted?
This playful feminist retelling gives Snow-White and Rose-Red the chance to tell a different story. They laugh too loudly, have no interest in housework and refuse to let marriage be the grand conclusion to their lives. Instead, they learn to wield swords, set sail and make an adventure of their own.
Funny, spirited and full of mischief, this short story takes a familiar fairy tale and asks what happens when its heroines choose freedom for themselves.
