Not a bad collection of fairy tales with some interesting variants on familiar stories. Most interesting was how fairies and their kin were often antagonists, as opposed to the witches and monsters common in Grimm, and how many of them read more like legends, with normal people having brushes with the fantastic. Lots of heroines, too.
