by Jane Yolen
Jane Yolen\’s collection of short stories draws on traditional folk tales, legends, myths and fairy tales to make something new. The stories all feel familiar, but with different characters, unexpected turns and fabulously original interpretations. If I remember rightly, they\’re not really kid\’s stories but have dark undertones and are probably more geared towards adult readers. Once again, this is a book I\’m making a note of mostly to remind myself that I\’d like to read it again someday if I can ever find it. I believe the book is out of print. Have any of you read it?
