It is a long book, yes. I know. And at some point it drags a little bit (in the middle, obviously), but the way the plot has been built little by little, step by step, with traditional fairy tale elements, with trials, with ordinary heroes, with helpers and magical objects and magical creatures and magical worlds? Brilliant, I'm giving a 10/10 for that. Gan Bao. In Search of the Supernatural: The Written Record, translated into English by Kenneth J. DeWoskin and James Irving Crump.

But the Grimms’ earliest version was anything but a children’s story, and even the sanitised retelling hints at the story’s ‘adult’ content. Nevertheless, this is a classic, and the image of the golden-haired Rapunzel letting down her hair from the tower in which she is imprisoned is familiar to pretty much everyone. But — I knew I was in trouble when at 82% I was sure that I could put this book down and not care at all what happens in the end - even though I quite liked the first 1/3 of the story. And it’s not because this book is terrible - although King wrote a few real stinkers throughout his long prolific career, this isn’t quite one of them. It’s just that it left me not even as much bored as quite indifferent, and that’s a cardinal sin for a book. O, to be sure, we laugh less and play less and wear uncomfortable disguises like adults, but beneath the costume is the child we always are, whose needs are simple, whose daily life is still best described by fairy tales.”

The Elves and the Shoemaker (My First Fairy Tales)adapted by Mara Alperin, illustrated by Erica-Jane Waters A classic example of the fairy tale featuring ‘the animal as helper’, ‘Puss in Boots’ entered the canon of classic fairy tales when Charles Perrault included it in his 1697 collection of fairy stories, although like many of the greatest fairy tales, an earlier version can be found in the 1634 Pentamerone, a collection of oral folk tales compiled by Giambattista Basile.

A short and reasonably straightforward tale, ‘The Frog Prince’ really became popular in the nineteenth century with the Brothers Grimm and then with various Victorian retellings in Britain, although there are precursors to the frog prince tale found in much earlier, medieval literature, such as in Chaucer’s ‘Wife of Bath’s Tale’, which shares some of its central features. a b c d e O'Faolain, Eileen (1954), Irish sagas and Folk Tales, London: Oxford University Press.

As you might have guessed, the screenwriters took the general premise of the Italian’s story for their animated feature film, though of course they left out a few choice elements. The end result was a tale missing some of the darker details of the original version – unsurprisingly since Disney were out to make a sweet morality tale for children rather than scare their young viewers.

Me? King is hit or miss for me. I've really enjoyed some of his books and others I find almost unreadable. That said, based on the description of Fairy Tale, I came into this book with high hopes and high expectations. Poor wolf, he has Uncontrollable Breathing Syndrome. (Don’t we all!?) Only his breaths are gusts of wind. Which really can be misinterpreted by other wolves who bully him and pigs who might think he’s out to eat them. Funny with a warm-hearted ending.
