This was a really fun read, even not knowing the source material very well. Some of my favorite stories were "Much Ruckus," "Some Sparks That Are Like Wit," and "The Polyamorous 'Oh.'" The art pieces were all fantastic, and "Masquerade" is one that's going to stick with me for quite a while.

Stories weren't interesting. The art was fun, though, I might flip through to look at that.

I loved the diversity in this book, and I can't even pick favourites... Each and every art work was different and showed the illustrator's own style, and the same was true for the stories. They vary so wildly (from very similar to Much Ado in terms of language, character, and/or story, to not at all similar) that it's hard to say something coherent about them all except that I loved them. Of course, I stupidly didn't take notes... 
So yes: a lot of diversity (in every sense) in this book, and it showcases a lot fantastic new (to me) writers for Duck Prints Press.
