Sharing these beautiful covers designed and illustrated by Anna Morrison that feature my silhouette characters. The Fairy Tale Revolution series will be published by Vintage Books in October.

It was an absolute joy to illustrate the beautiful words of Malorie Blackman, Kamila Shamsie and Jeannette Winterson, and their retellings of classic fairytales with a feminist twist. I can’t wait to share more of the interior illustrations closer to publication!

Thanks to Julia Connolly, Kris Potter & Charlotte Knight at Vintage, and Friederike Huber for the wonderful design & layout on the interiors.

Here’s the fourth title in the series, Cinderella, retold by Rebecca Solnit with repurposed original illustrations from the legendary Arthur Rackham.
