      I really enjoyed this group of stories. I'm a HUGE fan of retold fairy tales, I can't get enough! Most of these stories were really original (well... ;) ) and engrossing. There were a few that left me wondering what was going on at the end (and not in a good way). But overall, I'm glad I read these stories.
