Four contemporary fairy tales by John Gardner, NOT the John Gardner who is the reteller of James Bond stories, but the author of October Light, Nickle Mountain, The Suicide Mountains, and several other books that make the other John Gardner read like a hack.These stories are "dry and wry", "disarming and richly fanciful", and they live up to the jacket blurb.

John Gardner's classic fairy-tale collection depicts a world where anything can happen--and often does A humble thistle girl, a wise old philosopher, a hapless woodchopper, and an unscrupulous king--these are the vivid protagonists of Gardner's masterful book for children. Richly and humorously drawn, they face challenges at every turn. And in a realm where any one of these unconventional heroes might triumph, the reader will delight in expecting the unexpected! Inventive and illustrative, entertaining and edifying, these four stories demonstrate the quirky challenges of distinguishing between good and evil and living happily ever after.

I have enjoyed these stories since I was a child because they are both more sophisticated and more unexpected than your usual fairy tales. Also, they are very funny and stick with you long after reading them. This collection is not as beloved as Dragon, Dragon, though. ( )
