A review by ecoyne
Briar Rose by Jane Yolen

5.0

This was the first experience I had with re-tellings. I love the way Yolen interwove the Holocaust into a well-beloved classic, and maintained the horror of the Holocaust. If you've never read any fairy tales re-told, I recommend starting with one like this, which wraps itself around a subject everyone is familiar with, like the Holocaust, and turns the classic on it's head and brings you to tears.
