Swan Sister: Fairy Tales Retold

165 pp. | Simon | September, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-689-84613-4 $$16.95
(4) 4-6 Writers including Jane Yolen and Neil Gaiman here recast fairy tales with varying success. Nina Kiriki Hoffman retells "Bluebeard" as a thought-provoking loss-of-innocence story; Will Shetterly's street-talk version of "Little Red Riding Hood" falls flat in the end. Katherine Vaz's "My Swan Sister," about a girl knitting her dying baby sister a sweater, stands out from the others for its depth and emotion.
