For the first time, the award-winning Hazy Fables middle-grade trilogy is available in a gorgeous slipcase box set. Each book in this topical and hilarious anthology series adapts a well-known narrative (Snow White, Hamlet and The Maltese Falcon, respectively), adds a modern and monster-centric spin, and infuses the story with humor and lessons of empathy, inclusivity and advocacy. At a discount off the cover price, this giftable box set includes paperback versions of each of the three acclaimed Hazy Fables titles, including: Hobgoblin and the Seven Stinkers of Rancidia: Hazy Fables #1 Set in the faraway (and terrible-smelling) land of Rancidia, where it's good to smell bad and bad to smell ...

Named a Best Book of 2019 by Kirkus Reviews, this pungent parody of Snow White modernizes (and stinks up) the themes of the classic fairy tale to serve as a timely parable of the virtues of inclusive democracy versus the evils of corrupt regimes. Set in the faraway land of Rancidia, where it's good to smell bad and bad to smell good, this acclaimed middle-grade adventure follows a profoundly stinky Hobgoblin as he flees the jealous wrath of a monstrous, democracy-hating ogre tyrant named Fiddlefart.
This study examines feminist speculative fiction from the late twentieth and early twenty-first century, and finds within it a new vision for the future. Rejecting notions of postmodern utopia as exclusionary, Jennifer A. Wagner-Lawlor advances one defined in terms of hospitality, casting what she calls 'imaginative sympathy' as the foundation of utopian desire. Tracing these themes through the works of Atwood, Butler, Lessing and Winterson, as well as those of well-known Muslim feminists such as El Saadawi, Parsipur and Mernissi, Wagner-Lawlor balances literary analysis with innovative extensions of feminist philosophy to show how inclusionary utopian thinking can inform and promote political agency. Examining these contemporary fictions reveals the rewards of attending to a community that acknowledges difference, diversity and the imaginative potential of every human being.
