This is my second time reading this book. I like it, but at times it's almost despite itself.The illustrations are good, the off kilter look at well known fairy tales is more familiar to us now then it perhaps was when the comics were first coming out but the author's take holds up very well, and th...
I love this book, and I am not in the least bit ashamed to admit that, even in the face of its more, shall we say, Hallmark moments.
