Angela Carter's Book of Fairy Tales

Originally in two volumes: 'The Virago Book of Fairy Tales' and 'The Second Virago Book of Fairy Tales'; the editor casts a wide net: 100+ tales from the Arctic to Asia with notes. Expect 'no dippy princesses or soppy fairies, instead, crafty women and bad girls, rascal aunts and odd sisters in a celebration of strong minds, low cunning, black arts and dirty tricks'; illustrated by Corinna Sargood, afterword by Marina Warner.
