One of Amazon's Top 10 YA novels for 2013. Featuring stories by Neil Gaiman, Garth Nix and the authors of Beautiful Creatures, Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, this is a unique and imaginative collection for readers of all ages. There are some stories that will always be told, tales as timeless as they are gripping. There are some authors who can tell any story.In RAGS & BONES, award-winning and bestselling authors retell classic fairytales and twisted tales in the way that only they can. With magic and love, they bring these stories - whether much loved or overlooked - back to life. Read 'Sleeping Beauty' as only Neil Gaiman can tell it. See 'Rumpelstiltskin' through the eyes of Kami Garcia. And learn of Rudyard Kipling's 'The Man Who Would Be King' from the inimitable Garth Nix.

A collection of well known authors each contributed a story reworking a classic tale with has fascinated & influenced them. These are not simple retellings, & I loved nearly every story in the collection. Each also included an author‘s note which describes their connection to the original tale which was a great personal touch. The audio was excellent, but it has no pdf, & the print version includes illustrations that I wish I could have seen.

This was a good collection, I enjoyed almost all the stories I read. It wasn't too long and the lengths of the individual stories themselves were a great length.

Thank you @Smarkies for this wonderful #SummerSantaGoesPostal package. Every item I unpacked brought happiness!

You truly surprised me and picked books that I am really looking forward to reading.

I've read Conelly's Harry Bosch books. Guess I'll like this one, too.
Arthur&George sounds really interesting, too.
And I'm looking forward to diving into the short stories.

Perfect package, absolutely no need to worry about your choice.

julesG @Smarkies Thank you very much. That bookmark is also wonderful. Love the splotches of colour. As for tea, just ask the squirrel how much I like tea. I think she got 2,000 teabags in total for me this spring. @squirrelbrain 5y

Current mood: sassy as F. Dit boek was poep. Enkele verhalen maakte het een halve ster meer waard. Het is iets. ⭐
