Bluebeard

**'Curiosity is the most fleeting of pleasures; the moment is satisfied, it ceases to exist and it always proves very, very expensive.'**

Angela Carter's playful and subversive retellings of Charles Perrault's classic fairy tales conjure up a world of resourceful women, black-hearted villains, wily animals and incredible transformations. In these seven stories, bristling with frank, earthy humour and gothic imagination, nothing is as it seems.

This book includes *Bluebeard*, *Little Red Riding Hood*, *Puss in Boots*, *The Sleeping Beauty of the Wood*, *Cinderella: or, The Glass Slipper*, *Ricky with the Tuft* and *The Foolish Wishes*.
