This is Poise And Pen Publishing's 6th book in the Alphabet Anthologies series. This one is 26 different stories about fairies. Each story is influenced by a letter of the alphabet, A-Z. What the word is not shown until the end of each tale.
Of course I gravitate towards this collection because ...fairies duh...they are only my favorite magical beings. Many of the stories were retellings of well-known fairy tales. Including the first story which is a retelling of Sleeping Beauty and later a new take on The Emperor's New Clothes.
I enjoyed the few retellings but the newer stories were not as memorable. I found many of the stories hard to concentrate on and lost interest many times. Maybe this is because I read as an ebook. I find ebooks harder to stay interested in.
I would definitely try another of the Alphabet Anthologies. I found them clever and many times trying to guess the word the stories were based on were surprising and never the word I would first guess.
