Fairy Tales

I‘ve not been a Stephen King fan. That’s not to say that I don’t like his books just that I’ve never read much of his stuff. I enjoyed his book on writing, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, very much, but the only novel of his that I’ve read was The Shining.

I read his newest book, Fairy Tale, because I am a fan of fairy tales and fairy tale retellings. I was not disappointed.

King’s love of words comes through. If you are the kind of reader who wants to know words, King offers up some good stuff.

King takes a lot of well-known fairy tale ideas and weaves them into a new story, a new way of looking at things.

This is a compelling story with lots of references to books you might know. If not, maybe books you should get to know.
