Overview
Once upon a time. .Ā .
A princess was cursed to live as a snail,
Two sisters were trapped by their fatherās wrath,
And a mother and daughter faced a hungry giant.
No one is coming to save them.
Will they get their happily ever after?
In this collection of reimagined Indonesian fairy tales, the girls are the ones with power. The power to fight evil, to protect others, and to grow as people. Because why should girls in folktales always need saving? What if they save themselves instead?
Based on graphic novelist Clar Angkasaās favorite childhood stories and gorgeously illustrated with a dedicated color palette for each tale, this retelling of āKeong Mas,ā āBawang Merah Bawang Putih,ā and āTimun Masā is filled with spectacular landscapes, deep emotions, and a firm belief in the power of girlsā stories.
