Author Zoe Rhodes preserves the charm of the classics, with a mind for the future.

What do Belle, Dorothy, and Snow White all have in common? They have issues with the men in their lives. Interestingly enough, we've been spoon fed these tales of relational dysfunction since the crib, so no wonder half of all marriages suffer the fate of divorce. Often it is the expectations we learn as children that dictate the outcomes of adult life. If we are to grow and develop into mature, functional relationships it will take revisiting the lessons of the past to create a better tomorrow. In this farcical yet relevant work, Life Coach Early Jackson approaches the cycle of bad relationships from a fairy tale vantage. Women learn there is not a new problem that men present. In fact, these issues are as old as the stories we heard as children. You'll learn from the 'Real Housewives of Fantasy' what it takes to live "Happily ever after".

Princess Diana is seen as the first member of the British royal family to tear up the rulebook, and the Duchess of Cambridge is modernising the monarchy in strides. But before them was another who paved the way. Princess Mary was born in 1897. Despite her Victorian beginnings, she strove to make a princess's life meaningful, using her position to help those less fortunate and defying gender conventions in the process. As the only daughter of King George V and Queen Mary, she would live to see not only two of her brothers ascend the throne but also her niece Queen Elizabeth II. She was one of the hardest-working members of the royal family, known for her no-nonsense approach and her determination in the face of adversity. During the First World War she came into her own, launching an appeal to furnish every British troop and sailor with a Christmas gift, and training as a nurse at Great Ormond Street Hospital. From her dedication to the war effort, to her role as the family peacemaker during the Abdication Crisis, Mary was the princess who redefined the title for the modern age. In the first biography in decades, Elisabeth Basford offers a fresh appraisal of Mary's full and fascinating life.

Featuring original illustrations created by diverse artists from around the world, this collection of empowering short stories highlights inspiring acts of courage and kindness shown by Disney princesses and "Frozen" queens.

The day the twin princesses disappeared without a trace, their nannies were blamed. Secretly their stepmother, Elvora (the present queen of the land), couldn’t be more pleased. She’s the one who arranged an accident to befall the young princesses, and she hoped never to hear from them again. Yet a clue was left behind: the missing rowboat. Though the twins Mintana and Terriana were princesses, they longed just like other children to have a normal and happy life with friends and a school of their own choosing and parents that paid attention to them. So when the rowboat swept them away and over the waterfall, their opportunity arrived. But can the girls keep their identities secret in their adopted family and new town? Will they be able to hide from their evil stepmother long enough to live the life of their dreams? Will they ever discover what happened to the first queen, their mom? A modern fairy tale for young and old. The Naughty Princesses pursue happiness, acceptance, and the freedom to be who they are
