Book Description

Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy princesses or soppy fairies. Instead, we have pretty maids and old crones; crafty women and bad girls; enchantresses and midwives; rascal aunts and odd sisters. This fabulous celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks could only have been collected by the unique and much-missed Angela Carter. Illustrated throughout with original woodcuts.

5.0 out of 5 stars Once upon a time..., May 27 2010
By Jacob King "Of all that is written I love onl... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
Once upon a time I believed in witches. I also believed in ogres and ghosts. I knew that sooner or later I would leave home to seek my fortune and that the real world - the world out there beyond our front gate was a strange and weird place full of woodsmen and princesses and treasure everywhere. Along the way some of the weirdness started to get sucked out. Dull grey people with dull grey concerns began to shepherd me into a world with neither wonder or excitement.

Reading Angel Carter's fairy tales is a reminder of what the real world is like. They have the power to make you feel like a kid again. Fairy tales are distilled folk wisdom, the DNA of the collective imagination of our ancestors, and in Carter's hands they are seriously weird.
