Tender Morsels
Tender Morsels is a 2008 fantasy novel by Australian writer Margo Lanagan. It is a fantasy reworking of 'Snow White and Rose Red'.
Age controversy
Whilst published only as an adult novel in Australia, US and UK editions of the book were published as YA.[1] As the book includes scenes of gang rape, forced abortions and bestiality (and probably worst of all - consensual sex!), this was a controversial move by the publishers.
