Summary: Everyone thinks they know the real story behind
the villains in fairy tales--evil, no two ways about it. But the villains
themselves beg to differ. In this anthology for younger readers, you'll hear
from the Giant's wife (from Jack and the Beanstalk), Rumpelstiltskin, the
oldest of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, and more.
Review: This anthology was an amusing read and is a
reminder of the joys of a tale retold. This anthology is perfect for children
who love the classic fairytales; because not only is every story delectable in
its way, they also plants the seeds of important lessons. Lessons such as no
matter how a story is a told it there is always
is another view; that there is more to person, even a villain, than what is
usually shown. And of course the lesson, one that gets forgotten with sad ease,
that who a Villain and Hero are depends
entirely on the point of view.
