Now I'm feeling a bit ripped off that we've never had any fairy tale adaptions the leaned into the crayfish/lobster/crab fairy...

Although that does sound/look rather similar to the plot of Disney's Sleeping Beauty (again, sadly with less crustaceans, although...)

In image of Maleficent, the evil fairy from Disney's Sleeping Beauty animated film, but badly photoshoped to modify the image. She is a tall, thin figure with fine features, light blue skin and a black dress. She is wearing a black headdress with two horns. This headdress has been (poorly) modified to resemble the two claws, pointy snout and eyes of a lobster. She is holding a crow.

Hang on, this isn't how I remember it...

A still image from the Disney's Sleeping Beauty animated film, of a prince riding a horse onto a stone bridge, charging at a monster on the right of the image. The black dragon from the film has been replaced by a badly photoshopped image of Ebirah, a monster that resembles a huge, red lobster, waving its giant claws towards the prince. There is a green blast of fire from the monster towards the prince. There are black vines covered in thorns in the background.

The Orange Fairy Book illustrated by Tomislav Tomić

‘The stories are taken from those told by grannies to grandchildren in many countries and in many languages – French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Gaelic, Icelandic, Cherokee, African, Indian, Australian, Slavonic, Eskimo.’ In his preface to the final title in our Rainbow Fairy Book series, Andrew Lang describes the diverse origins of these tales. They vary from ‘The Ugly Duckling’ by Hans Christian Andersen to ‘The White Slipper’ – a reversal of the Cinderella story, in which the king loses his precious white slipper and offers his daughter’s hand to whoever finds it.

The introduction to this edition is by award-winning writer Sara Maitland, whose most recent book, Gossip from the Forest, explores the provenance of fairy tales. Tomislav Tomić is a Croatian artist and children’s author, whose detailed and lively artwork includes a decorated title page, illustrated endpapers and numerous black-and-white drawings. Like all the Rainbow Fairy Books, this volume is beautifully produced, with coloured top-page edges, and luxurious Caxton Wove paper.
