In a day when princesses have been boiled down to beautiful ball gowns comes a new kind of fairy tale.

Fall under the spell of a "Once upon a time . . ." where beauty is bigger than a reflection, where wisdom makes girls extraordinary, and where curses are broken through the strength and character of unlikely heroines.

A magnificent collection of short stories written in fairy tale prose, The Ravenous Gown captures the essence of a stronger, smarter princess the kind that actually lives happily ever after.

About the Author

Steffani Raff is a master of metaphor. She draws on her many years of experience as a professional storyteller to give strength and flexibility to her writing. You'll find her writing captures the voice, humor, and pacing of listening to a story in live performance and begs to be read aloud. Her knowledge and experience with the power of story to inspire, as well as entertain, allows her to address ideas in fresh and engaging ways.

As a mother of six she has applied the power of story in parenting and champions the art of storytelling at home through her blog storypossibilities.com and website piratesandpajamas.com.

Fun, entertaining and froth with meaning stories.

ByM.R.on March 25, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I read a story or two with my granddaughters when they come to visit. The stories have surprises throughout them, and always have a takeaway message. My granddaughters are ten and eight, and both love the stories equally. I plan to purchase at least two more copies so they can each have their own when we finish it together. I think this would be a great gift to give a family for birthdays, holidays or for no reason at all.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to spend time reading with a child. I think life lessons can be taught one on one, and this book does that in a fun and entertaining way.

Fairy tales for all ages

Bymariaon August 3, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be very intelligent, read them more fairy tales." (Albert Einstein). This book is for both the child and the adult, boys and girls. The tales invite questions and looking at life from new angles. We've spent many uplifting and open minded hours reading this book and discussing and reading it again. It teaches how to kill our own monsters (instead of waiting for someone else to do it for us), to see real beauty, feel real confidence, sacrifice, and endure through trials while staying true to what we know to be true. All this in the delightful package of story.

My 10-year-old daughter loved this book

ByHappy Momon August 10, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

My 10-year-old daughter loved this book! I read each short story after she did, and then we used the 2-3 discussion questions to talk about what true beauty is. It was very enlightening and also a great mother/daughter activity! At a time when the world tells girls that only their outer beauty matters, this book reminds them that who they are is what counts. Well worth it!

Great Stories for Girls AND Boys!

ByLearning Lab Momon March 30, 2015

Format: Paperback

Wow! Wow! Wow! That's all I can say. I love that this book is full of new stories that are cleverly written, fun to read, and chock full of great messages for my daughters (and my sons). This isn't a "moral tales" book, although you could use it that way. Instead, this is a book that is going to make you think about beauty and appearance and judging others. Each story takes a different angle. You can read it in one sitting, or you can savor the stories one by one over a longer period of time. I plan on reading the stories one at a time to my four kids -- ages 14 to 8 -- two boys and two girls.
