Children and adults. Anyone who likes traditional fairytales and fantasy.
As a small child, I remember not being very impressed when the only book left on the shelf of our little primary school library was a fairy tale book. Ugh, not for me - a tomboy, and precocious obviously! Leafing moodily through the pages of Grimm's Fairy Tales, I reluctantly began to read, and my eyes grew wide with pleasure and surprise. I was engrossed, totally absorbed, mesmerised. Rachael Fuller's Faerytale, told in the truer, darker style of the Brothers Grimm, whisked me back to that ch...more
Faerytale by Rachael Fuller takes us back to our childhood where the magical world of fairies, wood nymphs and characters that graced our bookshelves comes to life. After reading the synopsis of this story I knew that I could not just "read" this story, but that I had to read it out loud. Told in narrative rhyme I was immediately pulled into the rhythm of the story. The cleverness of the author's words engaged my imagination and I became Lucy on her quest to find her sister. So real were the fai...more
'Twisted tales, giant monsters, burning silver rain,
Girls with wings and evil witches out to cause you pain.'
Faerytale is a story about two young sisters, Ellie and Lucy. They are playing hide and seek, when Lucy realises that Ellie has vanished down a rabbit hole. She quickly follows her, and finds herself in a strange land, a place where fairy tales are not what you would traditionally expect. They are darker, and twisted, and the fairies are no longer friendly and kind. The three classic tale...more

A darker account of the classic tales of Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood and Snow White, Faerytale is a chilling story of Lucy’s journey to find and rescue Ellie before the land is swallowed by impenetrable darkness.
A slender little tale told in rich poetic form, this story was really enchanting. And the illustrations were such perfect inclusions. What an ideal story to read aloud to a young girl. And it makes me want to reread Rossetti's "Goblin Market" all over again.
I suspect that children who love Faerytale would heartily enjoy Sharp Teeth once their reading level and maturity advanced a bit.

Awesome story told in verse,
excited now I am to converse.
A game of hide and seek with a little sister
turned into an adventure oh so sinister.
Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, Snow White,
these tales gave Lucy quite a fright.
So brave and intelligent was she
Lucy didn't scream like a banshee.
I recommend this charming book to one and all
for it is enchanting to old and small.

This one was not only a lot of fun to read, but also a lot of fun to make! Rachael is a really creative author, and Faerytale is a beautifully written piece of work. I quite enjoyed the rhyming. The illustrations in the text are fantastic: well drawn for that extra imagery, but not too much to take away from the imagination, which I think is the real driving force behind this book.
I love any story where the elder sibling is the central character. Liked this.
