Updated but not reimagined folktales are exactly what I needed on this sleepy, rainy day. They were easy to read, but poignant. The art was diverse and interesting and the writing was tight, but accessible. There are parts that feel wobbly or somewhat incomplete, but it was a solid showing for the first in an anthology series- especially since I'm not a great fan of anthologies!
