Book Reviews of Tatterhood and Other Tales
Book Review: To be read time and again!
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember reading this book when I was little. I read it so many times I wore it out and I had to buy a new copy to have something to read to my sister's children when they come to visit. The tales are not as dark as Grimm's tend to be and the stories are different, not just your maiden-in-distress stories with a handsome prince to save the day. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a fairy tale book for a young reader. Its tales are empowering for young girls because it does not teach you to be reliant upon dashing young men for help. If I have a daughter of my own, this will be a book I get her as soon as she is able to understand the words in the book, and hopefully she'll enjoy it as much as I have over the years.
