Beyond the Woods: Fairy Tales Retold by Paula Guran
4.0
Some I particularly enjoyed:
Tanith Lee – “Red as Blood”
Shveta Thakrar – “Lavanya and Deepika”
Theodora Goss – “Princess Lucinda and the Hound of the Moon”
Gardner Dozois – “Fairy Tale”
Jeff VanderMeer – “Greensleeves”
Pretty good:
Yoon Ha Lee – “Coin of Hearts Desire”
Peter S. Beagle – “The Queen Who Could Not Walk”
Holly Black – “Coat of Stars”
Some interesting twists:
Gene Wolfe – “In the House of Gingerbread”
Nalo Hopkinson – “The Glass Bottle Trick”
Neil Gaiman – “Diamonds and Pearls: A Fairy Tale”
Steve Duffy – “Bears: A Fairy Tale of 1958”
Tanith Lee – “Beauty” (though I'll confess I thought this would go in another direction with the myth of Cupid and Psyche)
