I liked many of the stories in this book but a few I very much disliked. Some of my least favorites were The Little Mermaid and Rumplestiltsken, I found both of them kind of annoying but especially The Little Mermaid. I agreed with the sentiment but found the way it was written as solely an argument annoying. My favorites were Beauty and the Beast the Peter Pan. I loved the twist of Peter Pan and cried at the end wishing it could have been different. I loved that the stories had different cultures intertwined into them and I think overall it was a very nice book and I would reccomend it.
