Women in War: When the Fairy Tale Gets Twisted (Historical Suspense Series). What if Cinderella was really an arsonist of great use to the French Resistance?
Or an old woman from a bombed-out neighborhood in Holland finds shelter in a shoe shop and takes in some orphans?
Or an attractive flaming-redhead in Poland is having difficulty escaping the notice of the Nazis who are looting her homeland and must flee to the woods where there are other sorts of wolves waiting there?
What if Jane Muffet, who works in a furniture repair shop in London, finds that Fifth columnists are passing secret messages through footstools sent to embassies as gifts?
This is a collection of short stories about European women and their struggles during the Second World War, inspired by fairy tales and nursery rhymes—which have taken on a twist.
