Earlier this morning, Isobelle posted some exciting news on her Facebook wall, about an upcoming anthology collected by Isobelle Carmody and Nan Mc Nab - where authors take classic fairytales and put their own spin on them.

[hr][/hr]The blurb reads:

Characters transgress, they yearn, they hunger, they love, they hate, and, sometimes, they kill. None of the resulting tales belong in a nursery: these are provocative stories of enchantment, jealousy and deception, as well as courage, daring and passion. Each story is a gift to savour.

The Wilful Eye will be published by Allen & Unwin in April 2011! Exciting news! The full-sized version of the beautiful cover can be downloaded here. Volume One contains stories by Rosie Borella, Isobelle Carmody, Richard Harland, Margo Lanagan, Margaret Mahy, and Martine Murray.
