Jane Yolen, Patricia A. McKillip, Gregory Maguire, and ten other authors are represented in this collection of stories based on fairy tales both familiar and less so. A few of the stories are heavy-handed and some are only obliquely related to their source material, but in general the imaginative retellings will provide literature and writing classes with food for thought and discussion.
