How to Fracture a Fairy Tale by Jane Yolen, Jane Yolen
4.0
Multiple short, fractured fairy tales, mostly from Europe with some Asian and Native American tales.
The bonus treasure of this anthology is the last section of poems and story inspirations.
It was great insight for unfamiliar tales.
Also, the book reminded me a lot of Jim Henson’s The Storyteller sprinkled with more modern retellings. In that it they are a lot closer to the originals than the Disney versions.
With so many short tales, the book can be enjoyed during mental work breaks.
