Man I need to get more of these from the library.<BR/><BR/>Aaron-you've pointed out exactly what I really enjoy about this series. These are the fairy-tales, pre-Disney, pre-sanitization. Sometimes evil witches eat little children. I think Willingham really gets the fairy tales, how they express human fears and hopes so well. I also like how he takes conventions of particular genres and incorporates the characters into them to give it his own spin.<BR/><BR/>Rhinoa-that would be bliss! I love those books.<BR/><BR/>debi-no kidding! And the sucky part is that the library that has them is closing for renovations so I have to figure out a new game plan.<BR/><BR/>nymeth-awesome! I'm looking forward to reading more in the near future.Kim Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15024112944002002232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-7284400745714399762009-03-10T06:50:00.000-05:002009-03-10T06:50:00.000-05:00It's really frustrating that libraries don't carry...It's really frustrating that libraries don't carry entire series, I agree. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you enjoyed these two!

So imaginative and fun, while still being mature and edgy (sometimes too edgy, taking similar liberties with what they apparently think we need to see as the Watchmen film did, only on a less extreme scale. Moving on...). <BR/><BR/>I also love how well-researched these books are. For those who grew up learning their fairy tales from Disney, you'll find little to recognize here. These represent the real fairy tales and nursery rhymes, as originally told before they were Disney-ized, and include references to many stories that old Walt wouldn't have touched with a ten foot pole. They're all so intricately woven together, and the whole saga is part mystery, part epic adventure, part soap opera -- and all Fable.<BR/><BR/>Sorry...stepping out of tack-on-another-review-to-your-review mode... :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6874411986410157945.post-25792205725225346892009-03-09T21:01:00.000-05:002009-03-09T21:01:00.000-05:00These are great novels.
