McRae and acclaimed illustrator David Anderson deliver a tour-de-force of silly. What the heck is a cannibal anaconda? And who would believe such a thing?

A girl who loves sneaking. Seven daughters who all pretend to be the same person. A witch who tricks a man into carving his own children out of stone.

With shades of 1001 Nights, Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, McRae's original fairy tales bring a freshness and hilarity to the world of castles and queens.
