A review by jonathanwlodarski
Horse, Flower, Bird, by Kate Bernheimer

4.0

My second round with Bernheimer, very quickly in succession with my first. As before, I'm stunned by the beauty and simplicity of these stories, the way they capture exactly the texture of a fairy tale. Very sad stories that clog up your insides. The best of the bunch are "A Tulip's Tale" and "A Cageling Tale," though I was bored slightly by "A Star Wars Tale" and "A Garibaldi Tale." A blurb for Bernheimer on one of her books calls her the "master of the modern fairy tale," and I'm inclined to agree.

4/5
