Fairytale Stew Martin Anderson

Fairytale Stew follows the exploits of the quirky and sarcastic Ducatsnatch, as he travels around Fairy Tale Land, encountering all the best loved characters from rhyme and fable. Ducatsnatch is enlisted by the dangerous Brothers Grimm to undo the spell, fairytale stew, that his employer, the Dread-Witch Queen Xyzz, has cast upon their land in order to enact revenge on all its inhabitants. As he attempts to reverse the diabolical spell that has mixed up the stories and their characters, Ducatsnatch gets increasingly exasperated at the way that the characters are all constrained by the conventions of fairy tales and the stereotypes of their personalities. However, the attentions of Fairy Tale Land's heroines and the shining example of the heroes spur him on to a great showdown against his ex-boss, the Dread-Witch Queen Xyzz. However, he will need more than his cutting humour and irreverent look at the folk of Fairy Tale Land to beat the driven Xyzz.
