BOOK REVIEW - TALES AS OLD AS TIME
Tales As Old As Time by Sophie Bowns
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fun set of revamped fairy tales, my faves at this point being 'Frog, the Inventor' and 'The Devil in Pied Clothing'. The writer retains a bit of the language register used in stories of old, which is a nice touch. A small minus (not related to the rating) would be no links in the table of contents, meaning it's a bit of a faff if you want to pick out a specific fairy tale. Overall, a good job well done, and I'm happy to see more longer verse like this.
