Â
The Ugly Duckling still feels gross compared to everyone else, but now sheâ€™s got Instagram, and thereâ€™s this one filter that makes her look awesome. Cinderella swaps her glass slippers for Crocs. The Tortoise and the Hare Facebook stalk each other. Goldilocks goes gluten free. And Peter Pan finally has to grow up and get a job, or at least start paying rent.
Â
Here are more than one hundred fairy tales, illustrated and re-imagined for today. Instead of fairy godmothers, thereâ€™s Siri. And rather than big bad wolves, there are creepy dudes on OkCupid. In our brave new world of social networking, YouTube, and texting, fairy tales can once again lead us to â€œhappily ever afterâ€â€”and have us laughing all the way.
