Gleefully retold by Campbell, traditional tales from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and Central America . . . reflect a more inclusive worldview, with queer and disabled protagonists of many ethnicities . . . De Souza's conventionally hip, cartoonish illustrations blunt the well-told tales' sharp edges, but not their messages of resourcefulness and diversity.—Publishers Weekly

This collection . . . intentionally avoids the Disney-fication of folklore . . . These tales are disturbing—and satisfyingly so . . . Certainly many gore-loving middle-grade readers will devour these . . . Atmospheric illustrations pair effectively with the text, and Campbell departs from tradition to include overtly feminist stories as well as gay and lesbian romance without a hint of societal condemnation . . . Creepy and progressive.—Kirkus Reviews
