"Fairy tales are among the earliest fantasies we are exposed to when we are young and impressionable children. In one way or another they stay with us throughout our lives, whether in their original versions, or filtered through cartoon retellings. What more fun could a fantasy writer have than to take up the challenge of drawing upon this rich material and transforming it into something new... From the adventure of the witch in the gingerbread house and her close encounter with the oven..to Golda Lockes who has a very special arrangement with those well-known bears...to a murderous attack with a glass slipper...to Jack, a successful theoretical geneticist, who discovers just how perilous research can be...to a wolf detective who sets out to solve 'Grandma's' murder, here are highly inventive stories that will give you an entirely new perspective on those classic tales."--p. [4] of cover.… (more)

Overall, this was a solid collection of stories based (sometimes very loosely) on fairy tales and folktales. There were of course some that I did not enjoy as much as the rest, but there were no clear misses for me. I think my favorite stories were "Once They Were Seven" by Chris Pierson, "Three Wishes" by Kelly Swails, and "Capricious Animistic Tempter" by Mickey Zucker Reichert. ( )

Pretty entertaining collection of stories here, with quality that ranged from decent to very good. ( )
