Pre-orders open April 2026 · Shipping: May 2026

A focused look at the author and the most celebrated illustrators of one of the world's most beloved fairy tales, along with notes on the original text and on how fairy tales were published at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The issue also includes my own retelling and original illustrations (with a printable gift piece to frame). Classic fairy tales for adults who return to them — or would like to return with me — bringing their own life experience, curiosity, and a new way of seeing familiar stories. A gift and art-led edition, in the spirit of the beautiful books that earned these tales their lasting place in literature. For now, you can follow the illustration process in the photo gallery here or on my Instagram.
