ShanaStoryteller retells fairytales (such as "The stepsisters and Cinderella band together to survive their mother’s abusive treatment.") and Greek and Roman mythology (as with Arachne: "She is not honest as a virtue, but as a vice.").

A retelling of The Little Mermaid, YES. My partner was just talking about how they'd like to re-write The Little Mermaid from the viewpoint of a Trans boy. I'm soooo going to show them this version!

The loving kindnesses of the Cinderella story made me cry. Thank you for sharing.

I’ve been reading these all day. Her reinterpretation of the Olympians is a particular joy. Thank you!
