Its quite pertinent to me right now as my first so-called 'fairy story' is about to come out at the end of Sept/beg Oct – THE GLASSMAKER'S DAUGHTER with beautiful illustrations by Jane Ray. Jane of course is not new to fairytales but I am. And the editing of this book was by far the most tricky for me of all my books. Not the least because I had three different editors. The feeling from the publishers was that fairy stories in a modern world, don't sell. So the traditions I wrote into it, they wanted removed.
