 [rating from personal enjoyment] 

Jack and the Beanstalk (3 stars) 

The artwork really gave this story personality. It had a few touches to give the story a different spin too. 

The Singing Bone (2 stars) 

I had never heard of this story before, but it was all over the place. Drunk bunnies? Dead boars? MURDER! This was a little morbid overall. Reminds me of those Brothers Grimm stories because they feel so unsatisfying and dark. Eh, I like the cartoony artwork though. Very expressive! 

Puss in Boots (1 star) 

Dumb. The Cat’s got the brains tho. 

Tatterhood (2 stars) 

Loved that the sisters got a long and the parents didn’t sow discord between them. 

Rapunzel (3 stars) 

Loved the art. This one was incredibly sad. 

Kid Brother (1 star) 

Didn’t get it. And the overly inked layouts made everything confusing. 

The Nixie of the Mill-pond (2 stars) 

??? 

Bisclavret (1.5 star) 

Trifling. 

Hamelin’s Piper (2 stars)
