The Witch

and Other Tales Re-told
Apr 02, 2015librarylizzard rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed this compilation of modernized fairytales. These are your childhood favorites all grown up and with some extra oomph! The classic roots of many were clearly recognizable, while others were more elusive and required some thoughtful investigation. My favorite (and perhaps the one with the least dark elements in it) was the retelling of "Cinderella", which focuses on a college boy with a memory problem seeking out the girl with whom he spent a thrilling evening. If you are looking for a fresh take on some well-known stories, or simply a taste of the unexpected, look no further.
