Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul

Product Information

Being upset about the inequality to date in our world is not really a useful thing to teach our children. It was wonderful to read this beautiful and creative writing, as they are a different angle on my favourite stories from childhood.

Encased in a stunning hardcover, Nikita Gill's book of enchanting fairy tales reignites the wonder behind the stories we all know and love. In these short stories and poems you’ll find well known fairytales with insights into characters, backstories and different endings. They may want you to believe I was simple being brave, but anxiety makes more heroes than history would care to repeat. Es verdad que todos son muy breves, con una extensión de una página o dos, pero a pesar de ello, logran plasmar una historia completa, y muchísima emoción. I felt way too uncomfortable reading the cheesy poems and the predictability of it all, sometimes I feel like it tries so hard to be an aesthetic self-help book Hahhahaahahh.I know it might sound a bit deranged, but I would make sure that I would read some of the poems and stories in this book to my children to make them understand that stories, even though beautiful and magical, can be told in so many different ways. It is so attractive, and I'm afraid I've ran my hands over it countless times, which obviously, I'm unapologetic about, because it's simply beautiful. There’s also a lot of hatred towards men sprinkled throughout, as well as the message that if you are a wife/mother/whatever then you are not living an important, full life or.

Along with the writing are illustrations done by the author that accompanies each piece which was gorgeous.Through her gorgeous reimagining of fairytale classics and spellbinding original tales, she dismantles the old-fashioned tropes that have been ingrained in our minds. But rather, uses tropes , repeating ideas and language, cliches, mixed metaphor and boring images to project “girl power” which evokes such a lack of sincerity, that the intended feminist ideas in the book are cancelled out and falsified in the sheer light of inadequacy. What I loved about the book is how each character had a story that show them flawed and human, breaking the unrealistic standards. And perhaps needed to hear, in advance of publication, that many women don't take kindly to generic bashing of males.

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.She enjoys creating paintings, poems, stories, photos, illustrations and other soft, positive things. Even if this turns out to be my token poetry book for the year, I’m so glad to have made the choice. It was at mention of "people who know how to play with your brokenness like a fidget spinner" that I realized I couldn't keep doing this to myself. The idea of updating fairy tales or poems and putting them in a gorgeously bound (and illustrated) book for children/teens is wonderful. Imagine fairytales where the line between heroes and villains are blurred, where there is violence in supposed Prince Charming’s, and where the girl is independent, brave and smart- and can fight her own battles against monsters.
