  <description><![CDATA[This sixth anthology in the adult fairy-tale series by acclaimed editors  Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling presents another diverse collection of stories  and poems loosely based on folklore traditions around the world. Readers  familiar with previous books in the series will recognize the names of many  regular contributors, including Tanith Lee, Jane Yolen, Esther Friesner, and  Joyce Carol Oates, as well as works from Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, and  others. Tanith Lee's &quot;Rapunzel&quot; opens the collection with a charmingly simple  reconstruction of that classic fairy tale. Esther Friesner's &quot;Big Hair&quot; takes  the same theme into the present with less cheerful results. Greg Costikyan  considers the fate of an ensorcelled sleeping beauty dug up by archaeologists  centuries later in &quot;And Still She Sleeps,&quot; while Jane Yolen's &quot;Snow in Summer&quot;  turns the tables on Snow White's evil stepmother with a deep-dish apple pie and  a fry pan. Scott Bradfield's &quot;Goldilocks Tells All&quot; is especially memorable for  its Jerry Springer-like portrayal of the ultimate dysfunctional family. Leah  Cutter considers the loneliness of living under a curse in her Texas two-step  story &quot;The Red Boots.&quot; Severna Park's feminist &quot;The Golem&quot; revives a Jewish  folktale, while Bryn Kanar's haunting &quot;Dreaming Among Men&quot; draws on Native  American legend. Howard Waldrop's &quot;Our Mortal Span&quot; is perhaps the most unique  story here, a surprising blend of black comedy, killer-robot story, and fairy  tale. While on the whole this collection isn't as strong as previous volumes, it  still delivers a fine array of thoughtful writing on some of the best-known--and  yet unknown--stories we love. <em>--Charlene Brusso</em>]]></description>

    <body><![CDATA[I finally managed to finish this book after reading it for several weeks.  :S  I got distracted by other books and studies.  It's the final volume of fairy-tale retellings/stories edited by Datlow and Windling and it's a good end.  There were some stories that weren't among my better-liked ones, but...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36485440">more...</a>]]></body>

Readers  familiar with previous books in the series will recognize the names of many  regular contributors, including Tanith Lee, Jane Yolen, Esther Friesner, and  Joyce Carol Oates, as well as works from Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, and  others. Tanith Lee's &quot;Rapunzel&quot; opens the collection with a charmingly simple  reconstruction of that classic fairy tale. Esther Friesner's &quot;Big Hair&quot; takes  the same theme into the present with less cheerful results. Greg Costikyan  considers the fate of an ensorcelled sleeping beauty dug up by archaeologists  centuries later in &quot;And Still She Sleeps,&quot; while Jane Yolen's &quot;Snow in Summer&quot;  turns the tables on Snow White's evil stepmother with a deep-dish apple pie and  a fry pan. Scott Bradfield's &quot;Goldilocks Tells All&quot; is especially memorable for  its Jerry Springer-like portrayal of the ultimate dysfunctional family. Leah  Cutter considers the loneliness of living under a curse in her Texas two-step  story &quot;The Red Boots.&quot; Severna Park's feminist &quot;The Golem&quot; revives a Jewish  folktale, while Bryn Kanar's haunting &quot;Dreaming Among Men&quot; draws on Native  American legend. Howard Waldrop's &quot;Our Mortal Span&quot; is perhaps the most unique  story here, a surprising blend of black comedy, killer-robot story, and fairy  tale. While on the whole this collection isn't as strong as previous volumes, it  still delivers a fine array of thoughtful writing on some of the best-known--and  yet unknown--stories we love. <em>--Charlene Brusso</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[This sixth anthology in the adult fairy-tale series by acclaimed editors  Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling presents another diverse collection of stories  and poems loosely based on folklore traditions around the world. Readers  familiar with previous books in the series will recognize the names of many  regular contributors, including Tanith Lee, Jane Yolen, Esther Friesner, and  Joyce Carol Oates, as well as works from Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, and  others. Tanith Lee's &quot;Rapunzel&quot; opens the collection with a charmingly simple  reconstruction of that classic fairy tale. Esther Friesner's &quot;Big Hair&quot; takes  the same theme into the present with less cheerful results. Greg Costikyan  considers the fate of an ensorcelled sleeping beauty dug up by archaeologists  centuries later in &quot;And Still She Sleeps,&quot; while Jane Yolen's &quot;Snow in Summer&quot;  turns the tables on Snow White's evil stepmother with a deep-dish apple pie and  a fry pan. Scott Bradfield's &quot;Goldilocks Tells All&quot; is especially memorable for  its Jerry Springer-like portrayal of the ultimate dysfunctional family. Leah  Cutter considers the loneliness of living under a curse in her Texas two-step  story &quot;The Red Boots.&quot; Severna Park's feminist &quot;The Golem&quot; revives a Jewish  folktale, while Bryn Kanar's haunting &quot;Dreaming Among Men&quot; draws on Native  American legend. Howard Waldrop's &quot;Our Mortal Span&quot; is perhaps the most unique  story here, a surprising blend of black comedy, killer-robot story, and fairy  tale. While on the whole this collection isn't as strong as previous volumes, it  still delivers a fine array of thoughtful writing on some of the best-known--and  yet unknown--stories we love. <em>--Charlene Brusso</em>]]>

    <![CDATA[Synopsis<br/>As in their previous critically acclaimed volumes of reconsidered fairy tales, award-winning editors Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling have gathered together remarkable stories that illuminate the more sinister, sensual, and sophisticated aspects of the tales we cherished in childhood; the fables of witches and princes and lost children that we once imagined we knew. BLACK HEART, IVORY BONES showcases twenty beguiling tales for the child-that-was and the adult-that-is, penned by twenty of the most creative artists in contemporary American literature. Here dissected are the darker anatomies of the timeless, seemingly simple stories we have long loved. Here wonder and truth have serious bite.<br/><br/>A lovelorn prince seeking his father's blessing concocts a fantastic tale of a witch, a tower, and lustrous long hair...A pair of accursed red boots punishes a beautiful dancer for her pride...A troll-killing, princess-rescuing warrior is compelled to consider events from his adversaries' point of view...In a blistering tell-all memoir, Goldilocks reveals the sordid truth about her brutal foster parent, Papa Bear...<br/><br/>Rich, surprising, funny, erotic, and unsettling, these twenty new yarns and poems offer exceptional new treasures—-as they brilliantly reveal lusts and jealousies, foibles, hatreds, and dangerous obsessions, the things that slyly lurk in the midnight interior of oft-told tales. <br/><br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[This sixth anthology in the adult fairy-tale series by acclaimed editors  Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling presents another diverse collection of stories  and poems loosely based on folklore traditions around the world. Readers  familiar with previous books in the series will recognize the names of many  regular contributors, including Tanith Lee, Jane Yolen, Esther Friesner, and  Joyce Carol Oates, as well as works from Neil Gaiman, Charles de Lint, and  others. Tanith Lee's &quot;Rapunzel&quot; opens the collection with a charmingly simple  reconstruction of that classic fairy tale. Esther Friesner's &quot;Big Hair&quot; takes  the same theme into the present with less cheerful results. Greg Costikyan  considers the fate of an ensorcelled sleeping beauty dug up by archaeologists  centuries later in &quot;And Still She Sleeps,&quot; while Jane Yolen's &quot;Snow in Summer&quot;  turns the tables on Snow White's evil stepmother with a deep-dish apple pie and  a fry pan. Scott Bradfield's &quot;Goldilocks Tells All&quot; is especially memorable for  its Jerry Springer-like portrayal of the ultimate dysfunctional family. Leah  Cutter considers the loneliness of living under a curse in her Texas two-step  story &quot;The Red Boots.&quot; Severna Park's feminist &quot;The Golem&quot; revives a Jewish  folktale, while Bryn Kanar's haunting &quot;Dreaming Among Men&quot; draws on Native  American legend. Howard Waldrop's &quot;Our Mortal Span&quot; is perhaps the most unique  story here, a surprising blend of black comedy, killer-robot story, and fairy  tale. While on the whole this collection isn't as strong as previous volumes, it  still delivers a fine array of thoughtful writing on some of the best-known--and  yet unknown--stories we love. <em>--Charlene Brusso</em>]]>
