Bloody Fairy Tale

This young adult book is a good retelling of several Grimm fairy tales combined into one narrative. The book is quite self-aware (perhaps overly so) of how gory it is. This is not a PG book, or even PG-13. The interjections of the storyteller are informative and offer interesting interpretive points, though somewhat overdone, and the story itself is compelling and has an air of authenticity.
