Our very popular book giveaway is back this year. We'll be hiding copies across our libraries and sharing clues about where to find them on our Instagram Stories. Follow us on Instagram @uwelibrary for your chance to win a book.
Disfigured: on fairy tales, disability and making space by Amanda Leduc
Disfigured takes a look at how disabilities are portrayed in fairy tales and how these concepts transfer to real life. Why do evil characters often have disabilities? Why do the heroes need to 'overcome' their disabilities? And how can we change this outlook going forward?
