Loved it

it's such a fun way to bring so many different fairy tales particularly from different cultures together i love the way that's done

Girl Meets BoyAli Smith
Loved it

and it's really nice to see it set in the modern world between england and scotland and it very much explores both the themes of gender fluidity and queer relationships

Loved it

it's stunning it is beautiful and even if you can't get a hold of the physical collection like write this instance please go on google or search on youtube k tempest reading the poem tyrese because it is incredible

Kissing the WitchEmma Donoghue
Loved it

so if you'd like something that compiles a lot of fairy tales in one place a lot like our traditional collections of grimms and hans christian andersen then this is a fantastic place to go

it reads a lot like historical fiction but in the background you always have this sense of vampires are real so there's this little paranormal aspect but really beautifully interesting and a really interesting concept
