Kissing the Witch (or Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins) is a collection of interconnected fictional short stories written by Irish-Canadian Emma Donoghue. Each of the thirteen stories in the collection is an adaptation of a well-known European fairy tale, with several tales featuring feminist and queer themes.
In her new book, Kissing the Witch, she incorporates the plot and themes of "Cinderella," "Hansel and Gretel," and "The Little Mermaid," among many, and interconnects them into an ongoing thread of causal connections and relationships.
