La verdadera historia de la Bella Durmiente
By Christopher Bunn, Gabriela Fuenzalida. 2015
ROSAMONDE Quizá les es familiar la historia de la Bella Durmiente, por mi parte, siempre la he creído aburrida, así…
como el resto de los cuentos; ha sido relatada de muy diferentes maneras: algunas malas, algunas pasables y otras simplemente horribles. Ustedes ya saben de qué se trata: al enterarse de que no la invitan al bautizo de la recién nacida hija de los reyes, la malvada bruja se enfada y la pone bajo un conjuro mil veces peor que el agravio. Luego de crecer y llegar a ser insoportablemente bella, un día se pincha el dedo con una rueca y cae dormida por miles de años... hasta que con un dulce beso un guapo príncipe la despierta y rompe el hechizo. Ellos viven felices por siempre, hasta que mueren de viejos. Aunque en esta historia no se habla ni de viejos ni de muerte, porque la gente no gusta mucho de leer acerca de gente vieja que muere. De todos modos, aquella historia es una sarta de mentiras, lo sé muy bien, porque la historia de la Bella Durmiente se basó en mi historia.Rosamunda. La vera storia della Bella Addormentata
By Christopher Bunn, Silvia Beghelli. 2015

principessa di Bordavia, un piccolo e pacifico paese dell'Europa centrale. La vita è perfettamente soddisfacente, fino all'arrivo di un principe invadente, completo di un pallone ad aria calda e romantiche mire alla mano di Rosamunda. Come può reagire una ragazza? Con maiali, trucchi, audacia, e ovviamente una cospicua dose di pisolini.Tales from the Brothers Grimm and the Sisters Weird

By Susie Donkin. 2020
In the beginning, everything was fine.* And then along came Zeus. *more or lessAhh Greek myths. Those glorious tales of…
heroism, honour and... petty squabbles, soap-opera drama and more weird sex than Fifty Shades of Grey could shake a stick at! It's about time we stopped respecting myths and started laughing at them. Did you know Aphrodite, goddess of love and beauty, was born of some discarded genitals? Or that Hera threw her own son off a mountain because he was ugly? Or that Apollo once kidnapped a boat full of people while pretending to be a dolphin? And let's not even get started on Zeus - king of the gods, ruler of the skies and a man who's never heard of self-control. In fact, if there's one thing most Greek myths have in common, it's that all the drama could have been avoided if SOMEONE could keep it in their toga...Horrible Histories writer Susie Donkin takes us on a hilarious romp through mythology and the many times the gods (literally) screwed everything up! Stephen Fry's Mythos by way of Drunk History, Zeus is a Dick is perfect for those who like their myths with a heavy dollop of satire.'Who knew mythology was so bonkers?
