Twice Upon a Time

How would Little Red Riding Hood's story play if we heard it from the viewpoint of the wolf, and what's the real scuttlebutt about the seven dwarves? Whether they're told to us as bedtime treats or viewed as Disney movies, fairy tales fuel our imagination. Now fantasy's finest indulge themselves and offer us some wonderful new versions of these treasured tales. Maybe the wolf should get to eat at least one little pig. Perhaps Cinderella was really...

Awesome book

I would highly recommend this book to any adult reader, however I have no clue why it has "reading level: 9-12" on the information, because it definitely deals with some subject matter not suitable for those ages at all. This is a retelling, putting an often sarcastic but at the same time very adult spin on some old, beloved fairy tales. If you enjoy retold fairy tales, or simply finding out what happens after "happily ever...

Another perspective of classic fairy tales

In DAW anthology, classic fairy tales are examined and retold from a perspective different than the original telling. Often this leads to cleaver, imaginative stories that have the power to make you laugh, cringe, and most of all... want to read more. A full list of authors and stories include *** Spinning a Yarn by Lody Lynn Nye *** How I Came to Marry a Herpetologist by Nina Kirki Hoffman *** Puck in Boots, the True Story...

A good collection of fractured fairytales.

Twice upon a Time is an anthology of eighteen fractured fairytales.

Loved it!

This is definatly a great fairy tales book...with a bit of a twist. Okay, more than a bit, but who's counting? My favorite stories: True Love and The Constant Tin Soldier. Although I must say, despite what they say, this book is not for nine year olds. Let's rule out 10 and 11 year olds too. 12 year olds, I think they can handel it. Some of this book is quite, shall we say...vulgar, but I think they should be able to handle...

Great Book!

An extremely funny book. I couldn't stop reading it. If you like alternate universe stories or pollitically correct stories, this book is for you. A MUST HAVE!!
