Very beautifully written but could be a bit predictable if you're familiar with these kind of stories.
Angela Carter's prose is mesmerising... an absolute pleasure to read. She straddles the dreamworld between myth and reality, and her writing matches her imagination. Apart from that, all the eight "pieces" (one cannot call them stories, I think) in this slim volume are delightfully unconventional:...
My favorites were "The Fall River Axe Murders" and "Peter and the Wolf".Doesn't touch or come close to"The Bloody Chamber", but worth reading.
