Or do they?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce upon a time, our ancestors were much more honest and open about the spectrum of human sexuality. Among the fairy tales and myths they told were stories of androgynes, neither male nor female; of women and men who resist sex and marriage for other kinds of love; of chaste romances, miraculous childbirth and bodily transformations. These are the asexual fairy tales you will find in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese tales come from many places: from Grimms' Fairy Tales to \u003cem\u003eThe Thousand and One Nights\u003c\/em\u003e, from Greek mythology and Arthurian legend to the silent films of the 1920s and from Scandinavia to Japan. Retold, reimagined, and sometimes reinvented as new stories for the 21st century, these stories will change the way you think about fairy tales, and bring asexuality out of the closet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHopkinson, Elizabeth:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Elizabeth Hopkinson is the author of over eighty published short stories.
