I absolutely loved this series as a kid. I checked them out over and over from my school library in a never-ending cycle. As an adult? Meh. They did however lead me to fantasy, so they'll always have spot in my heart. ( )

As with all anthologies, some of the stories were stronger than others - meaning I enjoyed some of this book very much and the rest not as much, or not at all. Worth reading if only to compare to other fairy tale anthologies (such as that of the Grimm brothers) or fairy tale retellings. ( )

A lot of new and familiar fairy tales. Some had an interesting twist but a lot of them did get monotonous after a while ( )

Not sure what to rate this one. It took me around 6 months to get through. Some of the fairy tales were just awful and there was quite a bit of very similar fairy tales. But then some of the fairy tales were wonderful. So, I will just skip with the rating.
