I enjoyed it, I wish that I had found a copy in codex form instead of digital.

This is a book of 8 familar fairy tales doing what Gregory Maguire does best - twisting them. Really cute, quick, fun read.

I probably would have liked this more if I had a little one with me while reading it. As an adult, it was just okay.

A perfectly silly, immensely fun, clever and playful book full of stories I thought I loved before but had no idea. The best antidote to do much seriousness.
