Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Well-written, intriguing short stories from a variety of storytelling places. I like the intersection with the illustrations before each story. I like that they are not necessarily resolved as happily as one might like. I like that they aren't necessarily happy. It does feel a little unpolished, like early work. Wow. Just wow. This is the payoff for joining Goodreads. I am not going to pull any quotes because I'd be quoting the whole thing. These three stories are told so well I just wanted them to keep going. And they are horrible stories about horrible things happening to people who just did not deserve that (as genuine fairytales most always are), and they are told perfectly. If you love stories, you will love this. Just put down whatever best seller thing you just grabbed off the shelf and go read this. Right now. (I will add this as a caveat. Apparently, [a:T.
