review 1: I would describe the content of this book as merely cute. It is a collection of fairytales re-told in new ways. Some were quite excellent and several were quite bad or boring. The same for the art, although generally it was a high quality. I did not like some of the contrasts between one art style and the next, however. I'm not sure what better transition could have been made, though, given the variety of authors and art styles.
review 2: This book physically is very nice and attractive. The stories are all short; they aren't necessarily all the fairy tales in their full detail. Some of the story "adaptations" were good/funny, some I found just stupid, and some started out good and the ending had me going "really??". There's a mix of art. Some of it's carto... moreonish, some Japanamation/Manga style, and some is high quality illustration. Overall I thought the book was okay. I grabbed it at the library not knowing what it really was, but it had caught my eye. I don't regret reading it, but probably never will again. less
