At around 150 pages, this folktale collection contains a whole host of folktales, some short, some long, some modern, some traditional, all of which featuring queer characters and identities from across the LGBTQ+ spectrum.

Books like this are so important as a reminder that queer narratives exist and are valid, especially as fairytales and folktales are often hetero-centric and reinforce strict binary gender roles.

Whilst the majority of the folktales included have supernatural or fantastical elements, I was surprised to find that some did not, leading me to question whether they could actually be considered folktales or not.

Overall, however, this is a really fun, quirky collection of folktales that gives queer and LGBT+ identities a needed voice in the fairytale/folktale genre.
