Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023.

Synopsis
What if Snow White were the real villain and the -wicked queen- just a sadly maligned innocent? What if awakening Sleeping Beauty would be the mistake of a lifetime -- of several lifetimes? What if the famous folk tales were retold with an eye to more horrific possibilities? Only Tanith Lee -- -Goddess-Empress of the Hot Read- (Village Voice) -- could retell the world-famous tales of the Brothers Grimm (and others) as they might have been told by the Sisters Grimmer
This special edition, conjured together for the 30th Anniversary of the original edition, adds a new
Grimmer
fairy tale written especially for this volume

Totally agree with Tamlyne below, "Beauty" is the best version of "Beauty & The Beast" in the history of ever and worth the price of this book alone. I frequently take down my old copy of this book just to re-read "Beauty." However, this is a rare short story collection where every story is almost perfect. Some just linger longer in your mind, like the creepy version of Snow White (Skin as white as snow? Lips as red as blood? Why on Earth did we ever think something wholesome was being described that way?) and the horrific Cinderella. The only downside is the atrocious new cover, which does the book no justice or favors. If you can find a nice old hardcover copy, or even the DAW paperback edition, buy that one instead. Of course, this new edition has a story that's original to this printing, and it is, of course, good.

This is an excellent collection of Tanith Lee at her best. Fairy tales told in ways that make you understand that they were written for adults originally. As usual, she makes you think in the process of providing some first class entertainment. The take on Beauty and the Beast (Beauty) is the very best version of that story ever written in my opinion. Not for children, but definitely for any adult who enjoys a good twisted bedtime story.
