Below you'll find the general information, link to order the book, and three blurbs.
Title: The Magic Feather
Author: Marjorie Tesser
Publisher: Finishing Line Press
Publication date June 24, 2011
Link to order: www.finishinglinepress.com/NewReleasesandForthcomingTitles.htm
Blurbs:
“Marjorie Tesser’s twenty-first century take on traditional myths and fairytales is charming, inventive, and full of bold ideas and images that turn the tables on the originals. Well-written and sometimes comic but always serious, these are women for our times!”
--Hettie Jones, author of Doing 70 and Becoming Hetty Jones
“Tesser takes readers into the untold stories of fairies, Dorothy in Oz, Alice in Wonderland, Red Riding Hood; the mothers, grandmothers, princesses, and queens each offer their own take never celebrated in Mother Goose and other gatherings of popular fables. The Magic Feather takes a feminist perspective reminiscent of Anne Sexton's Transformations and the contemporary anthology The Poets' Grimm.”
---Tara Betts, author of Arc & Hue
“Marjorie plays congas for the vox populi…She is our Alice in and out of Wonderland!”
--Tsaurah Litzky, author of Baby on the Water
