Jan 12, 2014 Jared Shurin rated it it was amazing

Shelves: anthos-shorts

Creative and fun, funny and charming and very thoughtful - a collection of stories inspired by traditional fairy tales and written by children from 6 to 17. It is great to see how these old stories still have life in them, and even better to see the talented writers on the horizon.
