Summary

Step into a "once upon a time" where anything is possible.... Radiya Hafiza's enchanting and funny debut weaves together three stories, spinning the classic fairytale to show that anyone can be a hero.

'Rumaysa, Rumaysa, let down your hijab!'

For as long as she can remember, Rumaysa has been locked away in her tower, forced to spin straw into gold for the evil witch, unable to leave. Until one day, after dropping a hijab out of her small tower-window, Rumaysa realises how she might be able to escape....

Join Rumaysa as she adventures through enchanted forests and into dragon's lairs, discovers her own incredible magical powers and teams up with Cinderayla and Sleeping Sara!

Rumaysa: A Fairytale is a magically fresh, empowering and funny debut, which retells three classic fairytales - Rapunzel, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

A fresh take on classic fairytales

I enjoyed the different cultures represented in the book, and how the tales were woven into the same continuity. It's an extremely fresh and modern take on these stories, where women also aren't damsels in distress! Beautifully written and performed, I hope these inspire a new generation of children.
