LIKE COLORED GLASS SHAKEN ANEW,
IN A KALEIDOSCOPE DISPLAY,
ANOTHER TURN, ANOTHER TALE,
AWAITS YOU HERE IN GREY.
Deception is a dangerous game, and true nobility is often hidden beneath the humblest disguises. In The Grey Fairy Book, 35 traditional tales plunge readers into unpredictable realms where cunning is required to survive. A desperate princess must conceal her identity beneath a lowly Donkey Skin to escape a terrible fate. A brave youth faces terrifying subterranean trials to defeat the monstrous Bensurdatu. A loyal wife endures a grueling quest across the world to break the curse binding her husband as a White Wolf. Drawn from the rich folklore of Lithuania, Africa, and France, these stories do not promise safety to the unwary. Instead, they demonstrate that sharp wits and enduring loyalty can outmaneuver the most deceptive magic.
