review 1: I absolutely love fairy tales, so of course I was thrilled to find this collection. It is impossible for me to give it anything less than 5 stars because I could not find fault with a single story. Even though I did not like every story, I could not blame the publisher or the authors for the story just not being my taste. I can admit when a story is good even though I don't like the genre. Every story was interesting, expertly written, and interesting. I found myself laughing, crying , and holding my breath as I read. Not to mention, I felt that each story was a brand new fairytale. Everything seemed fresh and new, even to someone who has loved fairytales since the beginning of time.
review 2: I love fairy tales and anything related to them the originals as we
... morell as updated ones with different twists and yes Disney. This is an intriguing collection of stories based on tales we are familiar with. As with any anthology some I liked more than others. Yolen's take on Sleeping Beauty and Puss in Boots in a future new York were two of my favorites.My Favorite however was Born And Bread By Kaaron Warren based in part on a russian fairy tales. If you like fairy tales with new and innovative twists and turns this is for you less

I liked a couple of the stories in this collection, but overall I felt it was uneven.
