A great read

I liked the book because it was about step parenting. It painted the subject in a positive light rather than negative.

Delightfully Imaginative, Heartfelt Tale

I love that it's a deliciously vivid collection of enchanting stories that gives stepmothers a modern interpretation. I bought it as a gift for a friend who wanted something to read to her kids. But I can also see it as a fun book for adults to curl up with in some corner, in a comfy chair, just for themselves.

I haven't read fairytales in forever, and this was just what I needed to get drawn back into magical worlds. Georgina Warren just has a way with words.

A much-needed modern twist on fairy tales

Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2024

Love the idea behind this book. I grew up on fairy tales, with stories centered on the tragedy of women and the heroism of the men who save them. The only stepmothers and step-sisters depicted were evil. Tales of Virtuous Stepmothers turns those original stories on their heads. While each tale is original, they're all reminiscent of those I grew up on. Yet the heroes of the tales aren't the princes who fight their way to victory, they're the stepmothers who, while brave, also take the time to consider more clever, less violent means of solving their problems. It's refreshing to see women depicted as calm, thoughtful, and brave when facing down manticores and rescuing men from cliff sides. Also, the incorporation of characters with disabilities adds another welcome and unique bent to the stories.

The stories are quick reads and the writing style is similar to the fairy tales and fables many of us heard as children. However, the characters within are unique and though the stories take place in magical kingdoms, they feel somewhat contemporary. This would be a great book to read to any young child, not just those of blended families.

New twists on old tales.

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2023

A relentlessly improvisational look at fairy tales from different perspectives. Good, new twists on somewhat familiar themes. Particularly challenging for bright, young readers approaching these themes for the first times.
