A Seductive Selection of (in)Famous Fairy Tales. Recommended.

**** Review by Douglas Quinn, Author of Pelican Point, etal

The author of a dozen+ books and creator and host of Mitzi TV, Mitzi Szereto, now brings us a seductive selection of (in)famous Fairy Tales with a titillating twist of Mitzeroticism.

Szereto explores the erotic origins of Rapunzel’s curly locks, Beauty’s sleeping habits, along with thirteen other arousing tales that would make the Brothers Grimm grimace.

While I personally found Szereto’s erotic fairy tales entertaining (more naughty than erotic, actually), what I enjoyed more were the historical essay introductions for each story as presented by the author. They were well-researched and academically informative.

Those who would like to revisit their childhood stories told in a more ribald manner will enjoy In Sleeping Beauty’s Bed. Recommended.
