About The Magic Feather

 

“Marjorie Tesser’s twenty-first century take on traditional myths and fairytales is charming, inventive, and full of bold ideas and images that turn the tables on the originals. Well-written and sometimes comic but always serious, these are women for our times!”

 --Hettie Jones, author of How I Became Hettie Jones and Doing Seventy 

 

“…the mothers, grandmothers, princesses, and queens each offer their own take never celebrated in Mother Goose and other gatherings of popular fables..” --Tara Betts, author of Arc & Hue

 

“Like Sexton, Tesser challenges prescriptions for female lives which are taught through simple storytelling.”

--Lois Roma-Deeley in The Gila River Review
