The Nixie of the Mill-Pond and Other European Stories by Kel McDonald, Kate Ashwin

4.0

This is an anthology of well known European folktales. Some of the stories kept the brutality of the old stories which was nice. The art was fun. Even though there was a different style for every story depending on who the creative team was, it still fit together well. In the story Nixie of Mill-Pond, the font was a very Old English style. It made that story difficult for me to read. It might be better in the hard copy since I was reading a preview copy on my phone.

I do wish that it was easier to see who the creative team was. In the beginning, it only listed one person. I was curious if that meant the one person did everything, story, art, letters.

Overall it was a fun modernized read of old fairy stories.
