starryeyedenigma's review against another edition

You realize your privilege and hand in being part of the same society that creates this 'otherness' for people who are different from the socially defined 'norms'. What is normal and who defines this normal? The good thing about the time we live in now is that we have the ability and the power to break the definitions of what is normal. The only thing missing is the awareness and the knowledge. It is here that books written from the author's own perspective about the impact of fairy tales for someone who suffers from cerebal palsy, helps.
"Fairy stories are not real, no. But neither are they ever only stories." - And we need to read this book to inspire new stories, where ableism isn't the end goal, and disability is acknowledged as not something less, but something that is also normal. The individual shouldn't have to overcome anything. The society needs to overcome their prejudices and preconceptions about what is normal.
