About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Ten captivating stories of love, loss, adventure and resilience celebrating LGBTQ+ heroes, published as a collection of queer classics for the first time.
These are the fairy tales that history forgot - or concealed. Tales in which gender is fluid and where queer stories can have a happy ending. From the humble sailor who finds his handsome prince to the transgender market girl who becomes queen, from Europe to Asia via the African savannah, LGBTQ+ folklore researcher Pete Jordi Wood has combed through generations of history and collected and adapted ten unforgettable stories featuring queer characters.
©2023 Pete Jordi Wood (P)2023 Penguin AudioI have become very interested in folk tales and fairy stories in the last few years and this collection was just the kind of thing I was looking for. I particularly appreciated the clear authors notes at the end which explained some of the research process. It was very nice to see stories from several different traditions included.
There is a child friendly cadence throughout, which I’m sure parents would appreciate. Several concepts and identities are clearly expressed in understandable language and while an adult might find that a little odd, it is very much in keeping with the common writing style of a fairy tale.
I hope that others enjoy this endearing collection as much as I did.
A sweet and educational listen
