The Little Legends series by Big Bright Feelings author and illustrator Tom Percival is a sweet and fun exploration of well-known fairy tale characters with a twist for readers aged 6+, fully illustrated in black-and-white.
In these books, the princesses are no damsels in distress and the baddies aren't quite who we think they are. Each book turns a classic fairy tale story on its head. We've got Jack and the Beanstalk who meets the new kid in town, Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood teaming up to defeat the wicked witch, and Hansel and Gretel making friends with ... the big bad wolf! In this world, fairy tale characters choose their own paths.
