Summary: Excellent
Review: This book is an anthology of twenty short stories, each something of a retelling of a classic fairytale. The stories are all very well written, with the leadoff story being written by the sensational Tanith Lee. As a matter of fact, my absolute favorite story is Tanith Lee's reworking of the story of Repunzel.These stories run the gamut between humorous and upsetting. Some of the storylines are too much for young children, but none are unnecessarily violent or sexual. Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of these stories, and I recommend it without reservations.

Summary: A wonderful book
Review: This book is wonderful. I only wish there were going to be more in the series. The story by Ellen Steiber stands out in a great collection of short stories. If you haven't read any of the other books in this series, don't delay. Fairy tale short stories make great bed time reading for adults just as the original tales did as a child.

Summary: Absolutely wonderful series!!
Review: This whole series is incredible. If you have any interest in traditional fairy tales, then these are for you. The way these authors take the well-known tales and adapt them is amazing. Hats off to Terry Windling and Ellen Datlow for creating this series. I plan to hold on to my copies of them and be sure my kids read them some day.

Summary: A New Direction
Review: What a fine, and sometimes startling, collection of stories. Poetry also. This book is one to read and then keep handy, because you'll end up referring to its entirely original versions of old classics; a book that is fun to give to others, good to read aloud. Stories you won't forget. Alas, that the series has drawn to a close.
