Lucie Lukačovičová

Díky všem autorkám, mojí spolu-editorce Terce Kadečkové a autorce obálky Janě Šouflové za tuhle báječnou antologii. Pohádky převyprávěné v jiných žánrech a rozhodně nevhodné pro děti. Některé vtipné, jiné děsivé!

Thanks to all the authors, my co-editor Terka Kadečková and the author of the cover Jana Šouflová for this wonderful anthology. Fairy tales retold in other genres and definitely not suitable for children. Some funny, some scary!
