    <body><![CDATA[This was a fascinating collection of re-told fairy tales.  Definitely geared towards adults.  I enjoyed reading a story here and there, and reading the various authors.  It certainly made me want to go back and read some of the original Grimm's and Perrault fairy tales...and to follow up on some of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/49770020">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a very good book. There was only one story that I did not enjoy (Puss). My favorite story out of the book was &quot;The Moon Is Drowning While I Sleep&quot;. I wasn't familiar with the fairy tale they were referring to, but it was still a great story. I hope to find other books like this!]]></body>
