And I really enjoyed this. She retold several fairy tales, but she would occasional add her own comments. She referred to snow white as a " dumb bunny". And when she told her version of Little Red Riding Hood, she asked why they give wine and cake to someone who's sick. It was just a fun, quick read. no reviews | add a review

Dark, poetic, and at times humorous retellings of Grimms' Fairytales? We love her, folks. ( )
