Three Re Tales - R.H. Brooke

Description

From young woman living in what she calls “a nowhere of a pimple town,” to Dr. Andy, the dentist on a photo safari who rescues a lion with a shard of glass in his infected paw, to three brothers each building a home in his own way, R.H. Brooke takes you through three twisted retellings of fairy tales.

Inside Three Re Tales, you will encounter:

• A young princess who discovers her prince still carries some rather amphibian traits
• An amateur photographer who finally gets the desired shot, but will it be his last?
• Three brothers who find that hard work doesn't always pay

A young maiden, a river sprite, an epic journey to a find a Prince’s castle; the quest for the perfect wildlife photo of a lion in the savannah; and three brothers with three homes, facing a once in a lifetime storm, these stories will keep you reading to the end, but will there be happy endings?
