Fifteen modern fairy tales. In Richard Kennedy's The Dark Princess, a blind princess offers her hand to the man who will give up his eyesight for her, while in Jane Yolen's The White Seal Maid, the protagonist seduces a human to produce males for an all-female seal colony.
Some stories work better than others, but I really liked this collection of fairy tales for a new time. It's been awhile since I finished it, so I don't clearly remember which works I liked best, but I remember that the one with the blind princess and the one by A.S. Byatt were both standouts. ( )
This is an entertaining compilation of non-traditional fairy tales. Zipes is, of course, a giant in the field of fairy tale studies. I enjoyed this anthology and consider it a fine addition to my fairy tale studies collection. ( )
