I have always had a soft spot for fairy tales, and this is one of the re-tellings that has earned a place on my keeper shelf. Even after 10+ readings, the familiar story still puts a smile on my face. McKinley does an excellent job of world-building and gives it just enough extra spin and detail to leave her own unique mark on a beloved tale.
