The Twice Upon a Time collection is a second chance to tell well-loved traditional tales without sexism, inequality and violence. This makes total sense when we see how they can deconstruct the original stories and their myths and prejudices: the weak, submissive and skinny princesses, and the princes who make all the decisions and get to have the adventures; the witches who are seen as wicked, not wise; and the belief that romantic love is all we need. We offer new models of women and men that we hope will become the references for equality for boys and girls. Twice Upon a Time Cinderella tells the story of a young woman, who on this occasion will not go to the ball and fall in love with the prince, but will go instead to ask him if he really thinks choosing a wife as though she were a cow at market is a good idea. She will make the fairy godmother question whether glass slippers are honestly a suitable choice, and she will take control of her own destiny.
