Have you ever wondered why the ugly sisters hated Cinderella so much? Or asked yourself what drove a young woman to treat her step-children so cruelly? Or pondered what a beautiful young woman living with a lot of vertically challenged bachelors may have looked like to a concerned neighbour?
Sometimes we also feel the need to know what happened after the “happily ever after” and indeed if the after was ever happy.
Alternative Renditions challenges your normal perception of some very well known stories and gets a little further behind the scenes.

Why does the old lady make such a big deal about inviting young couples to dinner? Why is there a uniform up in the attic? Who is the strange girl in the film?
Then there’s the printer that goes mad, the delightful house in the countryside, and the fruit machines that behave oddly at the local bingo hall.
Half the time, even though you know you’re reading a collection of ghost stories, you won’t know who are the real people and who are the ghosts. The characters in our stories don’t either.
One thing is certain: if you dare to open the pages in this volume you&rquo;ll be spooked for sure.

Devils, demons, werewolves and other creatures of the night don’t have to be scary. In fact, at times they can be downright funny. They have heir fair share of the type of problems we humans have – pesky monthly cycles, others out to get them, a lack of what they need and a surfeit of what they don’t want. They’re not immune to recessions either.
There are plenty of moments in this little collection that make you hold your breath, make you want to lock the door and turn the lights up and make you wish you hadn’t stayed home alone.

Journeys. We all make them. Often they take us to exotic places. Sometimes they take us even further. They might take us through time. Or they might take us into a new way of life. There are times, too, when we go all over the world and back again, only to find that home is, after all, where it’s all happening.
This book contains stories about many different types of journey. We hope you will enjoy travelling into it and finding a world that suits you.

With a cover designed by Anthony Brown, a forword written by Michael Morpurgo and stories written by Blue Peter Award winners Alan Gibbons and Lauren St John, this collection of heart-warming stories is bound to please.
You’ll find all sorts of animals in this collection of stories – a hippo who longs for water, a chimp that proves to be tougher than a gorilla and a horse only two people can see.
There are some amazing people too – the young girl who looks after her mum, some young people who have magical powers they have to hide and a boy who finds a new way to remember his grandfather.
All of the stories are about how people are thoughtful with each other or with the animals in their care. And they’ll bring sunshine to a grey day.
£1 from the sale of each copy, plus a percentage of the author royalties, will be donated to Children’s Hospices UK.
