Hooray! Hilary McKay is back! This makes me happy. If you hadn't already guessed by the title - and not that I like stating the obvious or anything - but she's back with a collection of fairy tale retellings. There are ten of them - some, such as ''Rapunzel'' and ''Cinderella, the most famous, and some, such as ''The Swan Brothers'' or ''The Twelve Dancing Princesses'', lesser known. And of course, McKay brings her own twist to them all with the bedrock of openheartedness overlaid by a slightly tongue-in-cheek sense of humour that permeates all her writing.
