Fifteen distinguished authors, including Tanith Lee, Jane Yolen, A. S. Byatt, and Lloyd Alexander, present magical, modern renditions of traditional fairy tales. Reprint. This description may be from another edition of this product.
With just the right amount of sarcasm mixed with a delightful sense of humor, Jack Zipes continues his tradition of presenting flexible alternatives to conventional fairy tales. To see Zipes' own comments on the variations of the Little Red Riding Hood story, his essay in Don't Bet On The Prince and his book The Trials and Tribulations of Little Red Riding Hood are demonstrations of his research and understanding.
Wonderful.

I loved the stories. Most of them were simple and easy to read but lots of fun. Good for people of all ages.
