A prince with nine sorrows, a queen accused of eating babies, the luck of the roses, a white king, a story of herons and a pair of traveller’s shoes appear in this collection of new fairy tales. Housman writes them in the old manner, with rhymes, enchantments and hard lessons about love and pride.

Delicate literary fairy tales from the artist and writer, brother of A. E. Housman, for readers who love Andersen and Wilde. Download the free EPUB.
