This is a collection of short stories by Yolen, mostly re-telling fairy tales. I enjoyed these quite a lot since they were clever and fresh. Yolen has previously published all but one of these stories, but this was the first time I’ve read any of them. I loved how she went from fantasy to science fiction to “reality” from story to story. It’s always fun to see how a tale we all know and love can be changed and told to us in a new way. Yolen does this here, and the stories are always enjoyable.
I highly recommend this book, once again, well done, Yolen!
