My BookCrossing Rating: 7 out of 10 stars
As mentioned, I read these stories in between other books I was reading. I liked some of them better than others. My favorites were the last three: "Wolfland", "Black as Ink", and "Beauty" the best, perhaps as they occurred more in this day and age and I'm not a huge fan of historical stories. And I also thought "The Golden Rope", the one with the Witch and The Prince of Darkness statue, was pretty good too.
I can't say that I could place each of them to a fairy tale myself. The only ones I could do this for were Red as Blood (Snow White), When the Clock Strikes (Cinderella), Wolfland (Little Red Riding Hood), and Beauty (Beauty and the Beast), only 4 of the 9.
Still, I appreciated this book for what it was, and though I didn't like the beginning stories as much, am glad I stuck with it and found the later ones much better.
See the BookCrossing journal page for this book for additional reviews, links, and information.
