Black Swan, White Raven by Ellen Datlow, Terri Windling

Especially enjoyed the one about the true story of Snow White's stepmother - how kind she really was but how time made her into a witch. Time and jealous men. I love it when we "take back" the older female roles like that.
Fairy tales can really mirror the sad parts of our world - and our mastery of those parts. And in these modern tales, the women don't always need a handsome prince. It is such fun to see the different storytelling angles writers take with the old stories.
