Again with the short stories and books that I didn't think I liked the first time but LOVED the second time.
Francesca Lia Block retells favorite fairy tales in her own characteristic style. The stories and what they are based on are as follows:
Snow- Snow White
Tiny- Thumblina
Glass- Cinderella
Charm- Sleeping Beauty
Wolf- Little Red Ridinghood
Rose- Rose White/ Rose Red
Bones- The Singing Bone (I think)
Beast- Beauty and the Beast
Ice- Ice Maiden
What I found so exciting this time around is that I just finished those Hans Christian Anderson fairy tales. I bet that I didn't recognize the Ice Maiden story the last time I read this. Now I know the story because it was one of stories that I was absolutely enchanted with. It was interesting to see a modern twist on the stories and it was, as always, a fast and enjoyable read.
However, I'm starting to see a pattern in a lot of FLB's content. More when I get into the newer stuff.
