Once Upon a Different Time

Do you want to know what one of the 'ugly sisters' asked Alexa, or how The Fairy Godmother's selfie-stick became a wand? Or even how the giant in Beanland tried to learn from a famous rapper? These things and many more are featured in this very original take on traditional stories. There have been many versions of these stories down the years; they do, and should, change in the telling. This book, written by a very experienced head teacher, looks at the stories in a completely different way, using the unique perspective of different characters. What did Grandma see through her wardrobe keyhole that horrified her so much?The aim of the book is to encourage budding writers from aged ten upwards to enjoy using their creative talents, and it has suggestions for how a traditional tale can be turned into something extraordinary, funny and unique.
