" I have few words for how beautiful this collection is. Just go and read it. Slatter weaves magic with her words. "
The Girl with No Hands by Angela Slatter
" Four-and-a-half stars for this dark and haunting collection of feminist fairy stories. The very talented Ms Slatter makes her mark on this genre. "
The Girl with No Hands by Angela Slatter
" Actually very very good. I was a big fan. These retold fairytales hit me much more powerfully than Angela Carter's did. An excellent collection. "
