Welcome to Litsy!

I don‘t know if this book is #underrated or not, but it definitely deserves a lot of love! Six realistic stories based on known fairy tales (although I can‘t figure out all of the tales they are based on). I read this some years ago, but I remember it as a great read with wonderful writing! 👌

A quick read with a clever concept bringing fairy tales into the modern day. You quickly recognise the fairy tale being retold in an interview recording style.

3 stars ⭐

Delightful and clever writing...but the form got old. These are modern retelling of fairy tales told in an interview style. I found that the form got old. 3.5 🌟

What do you do when you are in the middle of three books...start a fourth of course. Started this last night and loving it so far. I ordered it through my library but I may have to buy it in the end. I am loving the authors voice. #blameitonbooktube

This collection takes classic fairy #tales and retells them in a modern setting without too much magic. I spent a lot of time trying to guess which tales were being retold, but I have only guessed 4 out of 6. 😅

One of the #indiepresses I love is Salt. Their paperbacks are floppy and rubbery, they have some great authors, and they have published one of my favourite collection of fairy tale retellings (the tagged book) 📚

A collection of six fairy tale retellings. Almost all are realistic stories. Amazingly well written

A poetry collection about women being in power and men are judged by the size of their wings

A novel about family and superstitions. It reads like a myth and it is wonderfully written

A play of a fictional meeting between Alice Liddell and Peter Llewelyn-Davies, the inspirations for Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan

The best part of this book was trying to guess the stories! That being said, Cassandra Parkin gave unique voices to all of the "interview" participants. Would definitely recommend for anyone who read the collections of the Brothers Grimm. #readathon #bookone

@erickaa getting comfy! We kind of suck at sticking to reading, but its good to just have a day of bookish appreciation and awesome snacks!

Boy, oh boy, this is good ❤ it retells six fairy tales set in the modern world. I expected it to be more magical, but every story is very realistic, and it works! Each story is set up as an interview, were an unnamed college student is doing a thesis about different people's lives. I had so much fun guessing which fairy tales the stories are based on, and would love to hear if any of you have read it, and what you think 👍
