Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales
Book description
Once upon a time fairy tales weren't meant just for children, and neither is Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales. This stunning collection contains lyrical tales, bloody tales and hilariously funny and ripely bawdy stories from countries all around the world- from the Arctic to Asia - and no dippy…
Why read it?
1 author picked Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This is what fairy tales would look like if they were gothic, so I love this book.
I read it a few years ago and fell in love with it. I purchased the print copy because I wanted the illustrations in front of me to look at too. Almost any story you read comes from a myth or a fairy tale if you deconstruct it, so reading this book keeps your brain tuned into this idea, but you don't need to be a writer to find delight in this book.
The cover of this book is quite lovely, too!
From Kay's list on gothic with obsessed characters.
