LOVED this book. This really does read like a fairy tale for children and adults. Also, this is one of the saddest books I've read in a while; to clarify (maybe?) I would compare this to The Chronicles of Narnia in terms of the "end of innocence" tone. But don't worry, there's plenty to smile about in this book because this book is also remniscent of the "politically incorrect bedtime stories". Another nice bonus for fact-loving fans are the appendices which describe the history of some of our most beloved fairy tales.
