Will Snowflake find happiness and not hurt her parents? Where did the strange woman in a beautiful dress take the sick girl? How did the two talking cats help the golden shoes find their way back to their owner? What did Kate find behind the old bookshelf and what is the queen scared to death of? You’ll find all the answers in these fairy tales. The book contains five contemporary stories that also make reference to famous fairy tales or fairytale themes. The narrators are houses and items of furniture. Extraordinary beings suddenly appear among ordinary people. A dark and mysterious atmosphere prevails. The author does not follow well-trodden paths, but forges new ones instead. She does not always fully explain what is happening. She treats the young reader as seriously as an adult. Her literature gives food for thought rather than the usual bland fare. Krystyna Chołoniewska, in addition to her books, also writes television and radio dramas as well as theatre plays for children and teenagers.
