What’s It About?
What if the wolf had been framed? What if the Gingerbread Boy had a sister? What if the whole story happened somewhere else, to someone different, told in a voice no one’s ever heard? Every fairy tale you’ve ever loved is just one “what if” away from becoming something completely new.
You’ll explore what makes a fairy tale a fairy tale — and what happens when someone breaks those rules on purpose. Through the classic stories and their clever, surprising retellings, you’ll discover hidden possibilities in every familiar tale: the villain with a side of the story no one’s heard, the hero dropped into a different century, the plot you know by heart told in a voice you never expected.
Then you’ll choose the tale that’s calling to you and make it your own. One twist or many, one story or several — whatever sparks something in you. Guidance and support are there whenever you want them. The twist is up to you.
