Taking well-known stories means it’s always going to be a tricky job to make them stand out. Some of the writers in this collection definitely do this better than others.
Each writer in this anthology takes their source material and offers a fresh take. My personal highlights were: Rumplestiltskin, Hansel and Gretel, Red Riding Hood and The Robber Bridegroom.
I found some of the stories hard to read, but liked the fact that we got to see quite varied approaches to modern concerns.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this.
