Three guesses. Three wishes. Free choice?



The Fairy's Tale is the international bestseller that turns traditional fairy tales on their head. What begins as a seemingly straightforward Cinderella story quickly becomes a tale of free will and personal choice in a "truly refreshing take on fairy tales" (reader review).

Bea is a lowly cabbage fairy, but she dreams of being an official Fairy Godmother. So when she is finally given a chance to prove her worth, she is determined to make a success of it. Besides, how hard can a Happy Ever After story be? Every girl wants to be rescued by a handsome man, don’t they?

Apparently not.

Bea's heroine doesn't want to be in her story, and her hero is much more interested in the ugly sister. The same ugly sister who is trying to overthrow the Kingdom. Suddenly, Bea must face the fact that her characters are as real as she is - and just like her, they are determined to go their own way. The problem is, if Bea fails to finish the story, she faces a fate much worse than being put to sleep for a hundred years.

Now Bea must figure out what Happy Ever After really means - and whose Happy Ever After she's prepared to fight for...

“I never thought I would say this but thank you F. D. Lee for the lack of sleep!”
"I read this in one day instead of all the other things I should have been doing."
"A cracking read! Subverted fairy tales one of my favourite sub-genres, and this is a great example."
