A great pick-me-up and distraction from the current world, and a good pathway back into reading after a break for me. The book is short and sweet. Some new versions of old stories and some new stories altogether for me, and I enjoyed reading them, though the ending morals were... interesting.

Content Warnings

Minor: Murder, Domestic abuse, Kidnapping, Death, Confinement, and Cannibalism

Brief, non-graphic, non-realistic appearances of various potentially-disturbing things in a series of fairytales. Middle of the range for fairytale violence/disturbing content, but everything is very brief in all instances.
