A Wild Swan: And Other Tales by Michael Cunningham
4.0
A collection of re-worked fairy tales with flawed though familiar characters and a contemporary spin, but retaining the fairy-tale magic. For instance ...
"This was not a smart boy we're talking about .... Jack is the boy who says 'Wow, dude, magic beans, really!' "
The tales are a little wicked, some a little bawdy, but also quite humorous. One's I liked are:
Crazy Old Lady (Hansel and Gretel)
Jacked (Jack and the Beanstalk)
Little Man. (Rumplestiltskin)
Her Hair (Rapunzul)
And The Monkey's Paw
4 stars overall (I'd give some of the tales 5 stars)
