review:
'Fairy Tales for Fearless Girls' retold by Anita Ganeri with illustrations by Khoa Le is a collection of 15 fairy tales from all over the world featuring brave young women.
In this collection, brave girls fight hippos, evil forces, monsters, giants and more. They do it for love, or to avoid marriage, or to save their families. Some are born warriors and princesses, some rise to those titles.
I've read similar collections of adapted stories that felt flat and different. These retellings have resonance in the prose and flow, probably because they are from existing sources. As with any anthology, some stories are more memorable than others. The illustrations that accompany are pretty nice.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Arcturus Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
