Picked up some books from the campus library after classes were done today.

I've been obsessed with fairytales for as long as I can remember! So this was a very happy find for me on an otherwise dreary London day 😍😍😍
This is a robust collection of French fairy tales with very readable translations, and the tales lend themselves easily to discussion, particularly those that adapt or are "in conversation" with classic tales and figures, such as Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Bluebeard. While the editors had a decidedly academic bent in compiling these particular tales, generalists and casual readers will find much to enjoy. #NetGalley ????
I really enjoy fairy tale retellings especially like these where the ending is not always happy or the Prince Charming. I think my favorite is a sleeping beauty where she really does not want to wake up.
