This is a book that it feels weird I never read before. My husband bought it for me as part of our holiday used book stocking stuffer tradition, and it is exactly the sort of collection I would have been really into during my modernized fairy tale period. I'm less into that sort of thing these days, but the stories hear clearly built the foundation for so many of the works I loved. The depth of Carter's language, the pacing of each story, the visceral punch of the descriptions all make this an incredible collection, highly recommended to anyone who enjoys a good feminist retelling or who used to and somehow missed this one.
Absolutely amazing! I loved these stories so much! Angela Carter was born to write, her writing is beautiful! Definitely recommend to everyone!
