O knihe

Once upon a time...

... things were going very badly. Princes were disappearing; children were at odds with their parents; lovers were lost at sea, and a baffled maiden had to choose among three virtually identical suitors. What's worse, the wise old heads of the court and countryside were just not up to the task.

There was a Ponzi scam to be thwarted; three oily lechers to be outwitted; a jaded Prince Charming in need of invigoration. And, what about those feuding neighbors who were battling it out?

In all-new stories of commoners and kings, you'll meet some familiar, fairy-tale figures confronting troubles as common today as they were then...and the mysterious old woman who tries to help-whether through "black arts" or practical wisdom, it's often hard to tell.

The old woman's tales invite you to journey back to a fabled time, when all-too-human problems could be resolved through trickery, sound advice, and even a little magic to shake things up.
