Girls. Seven Tales

Real girls want to read about real life, which includes sadness, pain, loneliness, and jealousy. Real girls experience real feelings. They fall, get bruises and bumps, and get back up, becoming older and wiser. Girls are no longer fairy-tale characters,... but people—made of flesh and blood. Annette Schap—a famous Dutch artist and writer, author of the fairy tale "Lampyoshka"—has transformed seven classic fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault into amazing stories about seven girls. These tales, adapted to modern times, are filled with deep psychological insight, and between the lines, one can find more hidden meanings than meets the eye. In 2021, the book received the prestigious Dutch literary award "Bronze Pencil."
