Faerie Knitting: 14 Tales of Love and Magic by Alice Hoffman, Lisa Hoffman

2.0

Two and a half stars. This book itself is very attractively presented, and is a charmingly pretty concept - which possibly influences my extra half star. The stories and the illustrations are whimsical and easy to digest, but I did very much feel they lacked that dark sting one expects of a really good fairy tale. I think perhaps the stories felt a little too distant and misty... and 'nice'. Still, a pleasant afternoon read, and I enjoyed picking out the patterns I'd most like to inveigle a knitting friend to make for me.
