Description
Rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, or this true. The Beast stands ahead of you in line at the convenience store, his devouring smile aimed at the cashier. A lazy Jack prefers living in his mother's basement to getting a job, until the day he trades a cow for a handful of magic beans. Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed, reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, Michael Cunningham.

Professional reviews
"In A Wild Swan and Other Tales, the people and the talismans of lands far, far away are transformed by Michael Cunningham into stories of sublime revelation. “Short, contemporary, disturbing, and alluring, a transporting and enthralling read.” INDEPENDENT “With a light touch and bags of sardonic elegance, Cunningham impishly expands on these timeless narratives.” OBSERVER"
