Once Upon a Time, there was . . . a big tower with a girl called Rapunzel trapped inside. Have you ever thought about all of the unusual buildings in fairytales and nursery rhymes and who would have designed them? If you want to know who, well, find out in 'Building the Dream' by Lynda Collins. And while you're questioning these fairy tales, did you ever wonder how the Princess managed to feel that pea under all of those mattresses? Was there some sort of conspiracy to gain the throne? You only have to read Jan Edwards' 'Princess Born' to find out. And for that matter, what about the poor bears who had their home invaded? How do the bears feel? And who are the invaders. All questions, which can be answered in 'A Taste of Honey' by Theresa Derwin. As for the Beast - well, is the Beast good or evil? Did the witch who changed him into a beast do something good or something bad? In 'Beast' Hannah Lackoff seeks to explore these issues, and maybe muddy the waters even more. In 'Gretel's Way' by Colin Fisher, we meet a Gretel who is immediately feisty, sarcastic, and quite aware of the absurdity of her situation, and the Witch was more than a little obsessive compulsive. And finally, in 'Pork Hammy and Chop' we meet William Meikle's version of 'The Three Little Pigs' where anything can happen! If you enjoy reading fairy tales that twist and surprise, then 'Grimm and Grimmer: Volume One' is for you. Step into our world of fairy tales retold . . .

Hard Luck City

Chrissie Harper

Join us for a short walk through the urban heart of England’s second city, along dark and shadowy streets of Digbeth, a suburb that had defined the city’s subculture from the dawn of the Anglo-Saxon age to modern times, where immigrants were packed into muddy streets like sardines, and where the first spark of industry emerged until the whole country caught fire with the flames of the Industrial Revolution. Gangs. Ghosts. Giants. Gods. Guns. From Beorma to the Peaky Blinders Digbeth has had them all. Weird Trails provides an eclectic mix of history, urban legend and urban fantasy, drawing on historical and contemporary sources, as well as upon the fertile minds of some of its native authors. One thing is certain. After reading this book, you’ll never look at Birmingham in the same way again.
