Summary:
Features "alternative history re-imaginings of ... the WWI and WWII eras: tales with the grit of roaring bombers and rumbling tanks, of 'We can do it' and old time gangsters, or with the glamour of flappers and Hollywood starlets, smoky jazz and speakeasies. The stories in this volume add fairy tales to the mix, transporting classic tales to this rich historical setting ... [including] retellings of The Little Mermaid, Hansel and Gretel, Rapunzel, Cinderella, The Monkey King, Swan Lake, Pinocchio and more ... showcased alongside some original fairy tale-like stories." -- Provided by publisher
