Dark Dark tales
Oh this is dark dark stuff, I found it enthralling, but it's a book to have something happy and light lined up afterwards. This is not your light, easy read, this stuff is grim and it takes a twist on the Grimm tales and amps up the agency for the female characters.
The illustrations by Karen Vaughan reminded me of Aubrey Bearsley or Harry Clarke with a modern more sparse twist and I was very impressed by them.
These are not your average fairy tale but they're damned good.
I had a different book lined up for A Grimm Tale in the Bingo but this is just too perfect for this.
