A Wild Swan

and Other Tales
Jul 23, 2016Michael Colford rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
Michael Cunningham tackles the fairy tale in this collection of stories, exploring what happens after the happy ever after... or what's going in the heads of the characters when they're dealing with hair long enough to allow a prince to scale a tower, or when you have a swan's wing for an arm. Most of these tales have dark undercurrents, as all fairy tales do, but not all of them. Cunningham's stories are enhanced by some beautiful illustrations by Yuko Shimizu, and the slim volume is a lovely, light summer read.
