A Wild Swan: And Other Tales
by Michael Cunningham
I didn't like all the retellings in this short book as much, some were just too short and I couldn't even place them all - but I really enjoyed the slightly longer ones. He really made me feel for Rumpelstiltskin. Poor guy gets cheated out of adopting a child. There's surprising humor in the stories, and Cunningham's way with words is always enviable. I still prefer his novels, as they move me a lot more, but this is a really nice collection and the art is beautiful, too.
