The Queen, the Cambion and seven others

This collection of modern Fairy Tales, their Fantasy offspring, and their legendary ancestors presents eight stories including ''The Lady of Wands, '' in which a Fey cop tells her story, that appears here for the first time. Also original to this book is Bowes' afterword, ''A Secret History of Small Books, '' which traces the path of Fairy Tales as a refuge for women, gay/lesbian writers, and LGBT readers from the seventeenth century on.
