It was pretty solid as far as the Storyteller series goes. I love faerie stories and enjoyed each of them immensely, they were all beautiful stories and really well written. I also always love seeing the different art styles and these were a really fun mix!

A lovely collection of comics inspired by fairy tales! I loved the variety of art styles. My favorites were by Benjamin Schipper and Celia Lowenthal--but they were all great! I still can't get over the line: "A bell, soft. A wind, strong. A door, narrow. A stair, black." from Schipper's tale. The layout and integration of text and image was excellent, it gave me shivers!

The Polynesian story was so good. So, so good.


And the last story.

But that Polynesian story - that was good. Perfect blend of art and storytelling.
