4.0

A friend lent me this book as a source of inspiration, and it has certainly hit the brief. These reimaginings of classic fairytales are original, and many are thought provoking. Although not every tale was for me, there are a few that will stay with me for a long time, and have made me want to read more by those authors. Overall an excellent read, which I would recommend to fairytale fans and writers, especially of short fiction.
