On his extensive travels, he has amassed a trove of stories that refuse to play nice -- filled with risqué twists, grotesque details, and endings that are surprisingly happy, though not always in the way one might expect. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHaving entertained audiences around the world with these tales, he has now written down some of his favorites in a book as beautifully produced as it is macabre. The stories were collected in Wales, Ireland, Arabia, Germany, Norway, Papua New Guinea, and Borneo and include the adventures of a one-eyed troll; the feckless Paddy O'Dwyer; a changeling child; a girl who thinks she can outwit a witch; the doomed Sinbad the Traveler; shapeshifters; and a baby-eating pig. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter begins with Wynd's personal account of how he came to learn these stories. Arresting and intricate illustrations by Transylvanian artist Luciana Nedelea perfectly balance the charming and grotesque. The book also includes a guide to the art of learning and recounting fairy tales. With foil accents and black-stenciled edges, this volume feels like a forbidden artifact plucked from a dusty cabinet of curiosities.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eViktor Wynd \u003c\/b\u003eis a writer, artist, and the proprietor of the eponymous Museum of Curiosities, Fine Art and UnNatural History in London.
