Happy Book-a-versary to “Whispers Between Fairies” by Derek Newman-Stille and Nathan Frechette, published in 2020!

Fairy tales have grown with us over history and changed over the years to capture the human experience. Yet, we often trap fairy tales in the past, calling them "tradition", and it means that certain tales don't get told. Nathan Frechette and Derek Newman-Stille bring out new tales from the old, telling stories from the voices that often aren't heard.

Whispers Between Fairies is a conversation between two authors who love fairy tales and each author takes their own path to find the hidden possibilities for each fairy tale. These are tales of beauty and enchantment... but they are also tales of darkness and secrecy, much like the original fairy tales. They are echoes of the past, but also firm reminders of the magnificent diversity of the present, exploring BIPOC, Q***r, Trans, Disabled, and Mad experiences.

Sit back and let our words be a spell that brings you to worlds of enchantment.
