The fairy tale lives again in this book of forty new stories by some
of the biggest names in contemporary fiction.

Michael Cunningham, Francine Prose, Aimee Bender, Kelly Link, Jim
Shepard, and more than thirty other extraordinary writers celebrate
fairy tales in this thrilling new volume. Inspire by everything from
Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" and "The Little Match Girl"
to Charles Perrault's "Bluebeard" and "Cinderella" to the Brothers
Grimm's "Hansel and Gretel" and "Rumpelstiltskin" to fairy tales by
Goethe and Calvino and from China, Japan, Vietnam, Russia, Norway, and
Mexico, here are stories that soar into boundless realms, filled with
mischief and mystery and magic, and renewed by the lifeblood of
invention. Although rooted in hundreds of years of tradition, they
chart the imaginative frontiers of the twenty-first century as
powerfully as they evoke our earliest encounters with literature.
