This second collection from Stars and Sabers is beautifully told and a testament to the human imagination. These new fairy tales deserve a place beside the Brothers Grimm.
If you could be a clown forever, would you? If you could see your loved ones in a river after they passed, or make a golem marry you so you didn’t have to suffer another dullard of a prince, would you?
Magic comes with infinite responsibility, but also infinite opportunity and wisdom. Explore the human stories of mermaids, wizards, living beings that can feed a village, mechanical animals, and much more from a cast of multicultural authors. Go on journeys you never expected to take from the comfort of your home and discover who you are alongside the characters in the book.
