  Fairy tales shape how we see the world, so what happens when you identify more with the Beast than Beauty? 
  ONE OF ENTROPY MAGAZINE'S BEST NONFICTION OF 2020/2021 
  If every disabled character is mocked and mistreated, how does the Beast ever imagine a happily-ever-after? Amanda Leduc looks at fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm to Disney, showing us how they influence our expectations and behaviour and linking the quest for disability rights to new kinds of stories that celebrate difference. 
  “Leduc persuasively illustrates the power of stories to affect reality in this painstakingly researched and provocative study that invites us to consider our favorite folktales from another angle.” —Sara Shreve, Library Journal

  People who have read my books, particularly “The War of Art” and its cousins, have a vague idea of the odyssey of a particular solitary guy, wracked with guilt and riven by self-doubt, as he struggles toward his destiny as a writer. But they have only the scantiest conception of the particulars of that journey. 
   
  These particulars I’m hoping may be of use to others as they wrestle with their own version of that same odyssey.  
   
  So let me try to strip it down. 
   
  Let me tell the parts I normally leave out.
