This book was a very important volume in the series in relation to the Snow/Bigby storyline. I gave it five stars because the storytelling is really awesome. I was really surprised at the direction Willingham took with their offspring. It totally makes sense. There is some angst associated with the ...

This is a transitional volume, so it's not on par with March of the Wooden Soldiers action-wise. But there are some very important happenings, both at The Farm and in Fable Town.

My favorite number so far. A lot of people don't like the side story about WWII but I thought it was a fine Wolfman vs. Frankenstein send up. The main story ends with a nice little mystery that in hindsight was hinted at ever since the grandfather North arrived. The Cindy lead story ends up tying...

There is never enough Snow White/Bigby in these things. I want more. Liked seeing the North Wind for the first time, and Snow White's babies are adorable. Could have done without the Cinderella one-shot and the two issue digression into Bigby's WWII past, but I'm not about to complain about it. Hope...
