What’s brewing when two favorites—poetry and fairy tales—are turned (literally) on their heads? It’s a revolutionary recipe: an infectious new genre of poetry and a lovably modern take on classic stories. First, read the poems forward (how old-fashioned!), then reverse the lines and read again to give familiar tales, from Sleeping Beauty to that Charming Prince, a delicious new spin. Witty, irreverent, and warm, this gorgeously illustrated and utterly unique offering holds a mirror up to language and fairy tales, and renews the fun and magic of both.


詩歌和童話這對文學雙寵「融合」後，會產生什麼結果呢？答案是完全創新的文學手法，不僅創造出一種引人入勝的新詩體，還為經典童話作出令人會心一笑的現代詮釋。首先，請先順著詩行由上至下讀一遍（這也太老套！），然後再把詩由下至上逆著讀一次，睡美人到白馬王子等人人熟悉的童話角色，將展現出絕妙的全新面貌。這部獨特作品穿插精美的插圖，充滿機智、溫馨與些許叛逆，為語言與童話提供一張反思的面鏡，重新定義了語言與童話的趣味及魔力！
