Poviedková kniha s témou fantázie a mágie. Neviem či to malo potenciál, ale nejak ma príbehy nebavili. Aspoň obálku má peknú.

I really enjoyed the fabulism and fairy tale elements in this short story collection, which were reflected both in the content of the stories and the almost old-fashioned, fairy tale style of writing. Would definitely recommend to any other short story fans out there. My favorites in the collection were "Time and Silence," in which a mysterious girl is discovered in the show by an abused young boy; "The Bouquet Witch," in which a lonely young woman joins forces with a local witch to avenge the brokenhearted; and "Shanty," a powerful exploration of gender identity and mermaids.

I am new to the short story genre, having only really read Stephen King short stories in the past. I really enjoyed this collection, but didn't love every story. There were a few i really enjoyed, but there were also a few i know i will eventually forget about. It is a good place to start though i think if like me you're new to short stories.

An unfussy collection of fairy tale-inspired short stories. Some I found a bit lacking, others were wonderfully weird.
