"Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls" comes with a foreword from Kate Pankhurst, author of "Fantastically Great Women Who Changed the World" and this sets the tone perfectly for the collected stories you'll find in this fabulous book.
Various authors and illustrators pull together an amazing selection of traditional tales that were once very well known, but have been lost to history - overshadowed by stories about brave princes and damsels that need to be rescued rather than rescuing themselves.
The sisters are definitely doin' it for themselves in this selection of tales where heroines outwit mighty giants, fight against evil magical forces, awaken sleeping princes and live happily ever after.
It's the perfect gift to give your own mighty girls, a book that they can claim as their own, and that is full of positive and empowering stories that are inspirational and grounded despite their often fantastical settings.
Sum this book up in a sentence: Truly something for all mighty girls in here and not a whiff of Disney in sight!
"Forgotten Fairy Tales of Brave and Brilliant Girls" with foreword by Kate Pankhurst is out now, published by Usborne Children's Books (kindly supplied for review).
