This was an absolutely stunning graphic novel that was basically multiple stories in one. I love fairy tales, and the author had such a creative spin on all of the ones he included. I especially loved his explanation in the back of the way he chose to illustrate them. Speaking of illustrations, this book is beautiful! The use of color was reminiscent of On a Sunbeam and really added layers to the story. It was so short, but absolutely packed a punch.
