3,5 * A nice read for fairy tale fans. I liked the reversed versions of the classic tales. The writing is simplistic and the story takes around 50 pages to get rolling. It's perfect to read to kids. But there are a lot of bizzare and bloody elements that are not suitable for kids though. All in all a great job has been done to write a fantasy story in the old tradition, when fairy tales were made up for adults' entertainment.
