White as Milk, Red as Blood: The Forgotten Fairy Tales of Franz Xaver von Schönwerth by Franz Xaver von Schönwerth

5.0

Gorgeous illustrations! There are so many familiar markers in these tales, and just when you think you have the shape or pattern of it, there is a strange reversal. So many of the structures I know in these tales is reversed. Reading this was like encountering The Grandmother's Tale for the first time.

My partner and I took to reading each other the tales aloud to one another, one every few nights or so. It drew the collection out so we could savor it.
