1.		Ruby Slippers, Golden Tears from Prime Books Price: $10.36 Customer Review: When I was a child, mythology and fairy tales took up a huge portion of my reading time, informing me at a young age that tragedy is but only one of the many inescapable aspects of being alive in this world, and probably the greatest common denominator connecting humans to one another; and that in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Black Thorn, White Rose from Prime Books Price: $10.36 Customer Review: As Datlow and Windling make clear in their foreword, fairytales were not originally intended for children. While I've never minded the Disneyfication of these stories - do we really want six-year-olds watching the ugly stepsisters hack off their own toes? - there is something marvelously gothic that... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Black Heart, Ivory Bones from Eos Customer Review: Not having the experience of reading the other books, I was delighted by these stories, particularly The Cats of San Martino, (although I felt the end was a little muddled) and Big Hair. What a great idea! I hope find the other books soon!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Silver Birch, Blood Moon from Prime Books Price: $10.36 Customer Review: Silver Birch, Blood Moon mixes good re-tellings with horrible ones. It has stories that are funny, evil, good, terrible, brand new, re-told, and many others. I don't feel like I wasted my time reading it but there are better out there. I guess it is the same with all mixed books. I enjoyed a lot of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Green Man: Tales from the Mythic Forest from Puffin Price: $8.99 Customer Review: It is true, as other reviewers have stated, that this anthology of mythology is not meant for adults. However, it doesn't seem strong enough for young adults either. Except for some of the themes, many of the stories seem more appropriate for younger children. The fact is, they are predictable and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Swan Sister: Fairy Tales Retold from Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing Price: $15.25 Customer Review: Several months after reading this collection, the final story, "My Swan Sister," continues to pop up in my mind in strange ways. "Greenkid" as well. I enjoyed the entire collection and would recommend it to fairytale-loving kids and adults.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Faery Reel: Tales from the Twilight Realm from Puffin Price: $8.79 Customer Review: This is better than I thought it would be, as it is considerably less twee than I expected. The story average is an ok 3.29, but the book has some added extras. Windling produces a quite lengthy introduction in the form of an essay on the history of the Faerie in literature/art as a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Fitcher's Brides (Fairy Tales) from Tor Books Price: $14.35 Customer Review: This is a retelling of the folk tail of Bluebeard, a man who married and murders two sisters-until the third saves the day. Set in the 1800's with bluebeard being cast as a preacher who supposedly knows the date for the rapture this is a slightly haunting shallow fantasy novel. I have no strong... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Bloody Chamber from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.40 Customer Review: Years ago, I stumbled onto one of the short stories in this book in another anthology, and loved it. It was called the Erl-King, but I couldn't remember the author, and was never able to find it again. I ordered The Bloody Chamber for the retelling of the Bluebeard story, and was thrilled to find... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		White As Snow (Fairy Tales) from Tor Books Price: $10.85 Customer Review: The beginning of this book had me in and I was prepared to love the whole thing only to come across let down after let down. The characters have no depth too them, save for one or two, and they end up dead or screwed over anyways. The female characters are all too passive, and granted the faux time... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
