How many selfies would the Ugly Duckling post on Instagram? Would Geppetto make Pinocchio pay his own rent like a “real boy”? Maybe Rapunzel freshened her look with a pixie cut? Did Prince Charming try browsing the Facebook Events page to find Cinderella after the Ball?

These questions and more are answered in Tim Manley’s forthcoming Penguin Hardcover, ALICE IN TUMBLR-LAND: And Other Fairy Tales For a New Generation (On Sale Date: October 29, 2013; ISBN: 978-0-14-312479-5; $18.00). Tim is well known for his popular blog “Fairy Tales for Twenty-Somethings”, which has been featured in the Seattle Times, Buzzfeed, Flavorpill, and the Huffington Post, and has expanded that idea to create the perfect read for a generation adept at social media and acutely nostalgic for the idealistic stories from their childhood. This colorful, enlightening resource contains more than a hundred new stories and cartoons of classic fairy tale characters finding themselves, tackling relationships, and pondering their contribution to the globalized corporate machine — one text message/night of binge drinking/creepy OkCupid profile at a time.

Out just in time for the holidays, ALICE IN TUMBLR-LAND will make you laugh — and maybe even shed light and perspective on your next quarter-life crisis — with its contemporary take on classic characters.
