Not a bad one in the bunch- can‘t wait to see which one I‘ll read in March. #bookspin

It took me a while to read this, but I really enjoyed it. Maitland mixes personal impressions of British forests with history, ecology, forestry and fairy tales, and does so in an engaging way.
I liked her retelling of the stories, some as storyteller variations of the original, some taking a different narrative perspective, some as sequels, and some reimagined in the modern day.
I particularly liked her Hansel and Gretel, the siblings grown,👇🏻

First time reading this fairy tale. I didn‘t get to Grimms original tale but I read these two, the tagged one the better of the two as it felt more in the spirit of a Grimms tale. I enjoyed the illustrations more in the non tagged book but the tale was very simplistic and more cutesy.

I've been cat-sitting for my son while he and his partner were visiting friends, and taking advantage of being in the city, I'm having breakfast at Gran T's in Ancoats.
I'm enjoying Gossip from the Forest, with its blend of nature writing & the author's riffs on fairy stories.
It's a two-bookmark-book: the red for the page I'm on, the black for the notes, in, If I do say so myself, an excellent example of #BookmarkMatching 🔖🔖😁

Next up... It has mixed reviews, which would probably have put me off buying it if I'd checked first, but I didn't so ...🤞

“ Rapunzel Rapunzel let down your hair.”

I would NOT use this book in the classroom because it‘s is violent and not a nice fairytale. There are other versions of the Rapunzel that would be better suited to a classroom setting, such as the Disney additions.
