Review: Greatly twisted tales

"Red Gone Bad" by Lucy Pireel is a great selection of short fairy tale stories, some modernised or updated, others twisted and altered in original ways. With these changes the book makes for thought-provoking and also very entertaining reading.My favourite is probably the ending in Cinderella. Lucy's characters are more believable without straying too far from fantasy and fairy tale territory. There may be mobile phones in Little Red Riding Hood but there is also the wolf from the original.Cleverly put together and well written this is certainly worth your time.
