This original collection of short stories references original/classic themes and explores the added dimensions of speculative fiction.

The 'Little Mermaid' introduces us to 'Koo-arsh'-an alien human-like inhabitant of an immense lake on an exo-planet. The 'Princess and the Pea' becomes a young woman afflicted by a strange intolerance to pea-soup. The 'President's New Clothes' reveals a future President Chester Trump wearing the image of clothing projected onto his body and caught out with unforeseen consequences.

There can be little doubt that the foundation sources for these new tales share a timeless quality, having endured over the generations since the early 19th Century. Modern readers need do little to fill in gaps and use their imagination to make this anthology relevant to their own experiences.

Nine of the re-imagined stories in this anthology are inspired by the works of Hans Christian Andersen and one by the Brothers Grimm. Many of the original stories are well known and some have been adapted to feature films, television, comics and other media. Their abiding popularity is strongly related to the human emotions, foibles and failings that are common to all modern human cultures.
