Fairytaleswithatwist Histoires

This book hopes to visit the Fairytales that we all grew up reading, the ones that started with 'Once upon a time' and ended with '...and they lived happily ever after'. The author attempts to point out some disturbing points that might have skipped us altogether. This might just be a useful tool in helping us realize that what lies beneath the surface of a seemingly harmless story, is in fact quite the contrary. We could begin by trying to change the text so that future generations grow up reading stories that are uplifting and empowering.

The tale of the legendary golden flower is widely known. The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the flower is stolen by an old witch to keep herself young and beautiful. And always, the flower is used to save a dying queen, who then gives birth to a princess with magical hair. Not willing to lose the flower, the old witch steals the princess and locks her away in a high tower, raising her as her own. But the princess always finds out who she truly is and manages to defeat the old witch. And yet, this is only half the story. So, what of the old witch, Mother Gothel? Where does she come from? And how does she come across the magical golden flower? Here is one account that recounts a version of the story that has remained untold for centuries...until now. It is a tale of mothers and daughters, of youth and dark magic. It is a tale of the old witch, Mother Gothel.
