Dark Fairy Tales Reimagined.

A Wild Swan - And Other Tales is a great read for adults who are looking for a darker twist to classic fairy tales. Michael Cunningham does an amazing job of reimagining these stories, bringing forth their darker elements while retaining their magical essence. The illustrations by Yuko Shimizu perfectly capture the strange beauty of these tales.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
