Abstract

An original story, written and illustrated in the style of the golden age of fairy tales. The story includes sixteen original collage illustrations and is a coming-of-age tale about a young girl who embarks on a journey to seek her fortune. Travelling through a hostile world, she encounters benevolent creatures, whom she helps, using magic talismans from home, and who, in return, help her to liberate a hostage prince and destroy a force of pure evil. Also examines recent trends in the pop culture of fairy tales over the last fifty years that have inspired the author's work both negatively and positively.
