3 Dead Princes: An Anarchist Fairy Tale
“This is a beautiful book. The illustrations are wonderful. It definitely rocks! I ought to know” —IGGY POP“3 Dead Princesfollows the fairy tale narrative with personal challenges, serious battle preparation, and more brave moments than the movieBrave.But every time you think you have it all figured out, Nobacon throws a curve ball, forcing the reader to rethink what a fairy tale can be . . . while also posing a lot of subtle questions about society, culture, and evolution. . . . With Alex Cox’s illustrations along to spice things up even more, it’s a very enjoyable, and unorthodox, read.” —Bookslut“Parents looking for a book for a middle-grader would be hard pressed to find a more sophisticated yet accessible story. Yes, there is a bit of swearing in it, and yes, there are some fairly grown-up themes introduced, but as a springboard for sensible and informed discussion with youngsters about how we live and how we might live, it is hard to think of a better book. . . . Even as an adult reader, the story is interesting and intelligent enough for you to find it worth your while.”—New York Journal of Books
