The Secret of the Tattered Shoes is a fresh interpretation of the beloved Brothers Grimm fairy tale about twelve princesses who are locked in at night, yet whose dancing shoes are still worn down by morning.

A young soldier is tasked to discover their night-time adventures. But unlike the story told by the Brothers Grimm, this soldier seeks a different ending.

Jackie's dark and poetic text updates this well-known tale and shows how stories evolve and adapt over time.

Jackie Morris is an internationally best-selling illustrator and author who lives in a small cottage on the Pembrokeshire coast. Her illustration of The Lost Words was recognised by UK booksellers who voted it the most beautiful in 2016. Originally from Birmingham, Jackie visited Pembrokeshire over 20 years ago for the weekend and never left.

The Lost Words

“Once upon a time, words began to vanish from the language of children. They disappeared so quietly that at first almost no one noticed – fading away like water on stone. The words were those that children used to name the natural world around them: acorn, adder, bluebell, bramble, conker – gone! Fern, heather, kingfisher, otter, raven, willow, wren…all of them gone! The words were being lost…” A collaboration between Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane, The Lost Words is a very special illustrated collection of spell-poems to re-wild the language of children. All over the country, there are words disappearing from children's lives.
