Rulership and politics go hand-in-hand, and the author demonstrates how noble fairy wives were seen at different times as a blessing and a curse. The fascinating history he details of the use of these tales is as curious and transgressive as their heroines, and shows how fact truly can be stranger than fiction, and that when these two blur, there is a liminal place of fairy and magic, where anything becomes possible.
