“Hilarious and original yet completely timeless takes on tales told all around the world for centuries, this book is putting all the lore into one gLORE-ious place! I love it!”
—Margaret Cho, actor and comedian
“Liz Gotauco is a connoisseur of international folklore and fairy tales and brings her own gleefully funny and explicit take in their telling. The book is a delight, and wonderfully informative as well. Jade Gotauco’s illustrations provide the perfect vibe. But beware: these are not your Mama’s bedtime stories.”
—James Lapine, author of Putting it Together and Into the Woods
“Liz Gotauco is quirky, lively, and talented. I’ve heard many storytellers try hard to revive the oral tradition only to strike out, but Liz knocks it out of the park.”
—Maria Tatar, author of The Annotated Brothers Grimm and The Annotated Hans Christian Andersen
“Most appealingly, the stories are all told in Gotauco’s signature style, with diversions into emotional breakdowns, feminist rage, and donkey puns. Readers who like unusually told tales of the unusual will devour these, share them with unsuspecting friends, and find Gotauco on social media for more.”
