Some of these fairy tales may be unfamiliar to you — but as you read them, you may find they feel surprisingly close to home.

Fairly Unfamiliar Fairy Tales by J.P. Reid is the companion to Fairly Familiar Fairy Tales — this time venturing into the stories that didn’t quite make the Disney shortlist, but have been told around the world for generations. Along the way, you’ll discover that even the ones you think you know have secrets.

Did you know the original wolf in The Three Little Pigs actually eats the first two pigs? That the original intruder in The Three Bears was an old woman, not Goldilocks? That Aladdin had not just a magic lamp — but also a magic ring?

This collection includes:

  • The Three Little Pigs, The Three Bears, and The Three Billy Goats Gruff
  • Mother Holle, The Ugly Duckling, and The Emperor’s New Clothes
  • The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Thumbelina, and Snow White and Rose Red
  • The Fisherman and His Wife, The Bremen Town Musicians, and The Brave Little Tailor
  • Aladdin, The Gingerbread Man, Peach Boy, Swan Lake, and more

Packed with trivia, puzzles, fascinating facts, and surprising original versions, this is the fairy tale collection for readers who think they’ve heard it all.
