The Three Little Sontarans

2.6.17


Brilliant. Exactly what I expected from a book called 'Time Lord Fairy Tales'.

The Twins in the Woods

1.6.17


I have a stack of fairy tales, Grimm's, Anderson's, various other collections. Haven't read all of them, some are very familiar, others just plain weird. So I don't know the origins of this one. Not Hansel and Gretel, not The Two Sisters.

No matter, it's a great story. Somewhere nice.

Cinderella and the Magic Box

31.5.17


I have never liked Cinderella (Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine being the exception), she doesn't do anything, things just happen to her. Until this one. I was a bit apprehensive at the beginning but it got very good very quickly.

Frozen Beauty

30.5.17


This one is also really good, really clever (as I'm suspecting they all will be). However, I was completely distracted by the idea of space travel normally taking centuries and arriving at your destination and waking up and everything could have changed.
