She is a Beast

An ANI Bestseller

You will not find any damsels in distress within these pages . . .

She Is A Beast beckons you into a fairy tale world of princesses, witches, and spells that need to be broken, but these pages hold something darker and hungrier than you remember. This illustrated collection includes both original and reimagined classic fairy tales, but the maidens and princesses in these stories are not as innocent as they look and their wit is as sharp as their fangs. Reexamining the tales of Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Rapunzel, and others,  Rosso-Schnider crafts a collection of women reclaiming their stories and finding agency by embracing their beastly natures and adopting monstrous appetites where in their wildness, they find freedom. So tread carefully because these women might devour you.
