Description: New. 140120256X From Publishers Weekly One of the stories in this new collection is appropriately titled "Into the Woods. " Like Stephen Sondheim's musical, Willingham's series presents figures from childhood fairytales contending with the problems of adult life. Snow White, Briar Rose (aka Sleeping Beauty), Prince Charming, Little Boy Blue and Goldilocks all appear, as does a trickster named Jack. So does the Big Bad Wolf, who is inescapably reminiscent of Marvel's Wolverine. Even Gulliver's ... read more

"I don't care what you say--I love these beginning episodes in the romance of Snow White and Bigy. Their relationship is actually pretty unromantic, and practical, which is what I like best about my own love, and yet...the look on Bigby's face when he gets his big news? Clinches him as the perfect man.
Add to that how much Goldilocks FREAKED. ME. OUT. and we're all set.
"I'm convinced that I probably don't quite understand everything that's going on in this series, but it's way too awesome to read a book where Snow White takes a freaking axe to Goldilocks' head while G-locks tries to set the Big Bad Wolf (in wolf form) on fire. Furthermore, Prince Charming is a diabolical womanizer. It's too much fun to put down. It's so full of everything that makes reading entertaining, at least to me ... But, I must admit, I probably have no insight into anything beyond the plot or the reimagination of the cultural significance of these different characters ..."
"Jack’s story at the beginning was interesting, but his awful accent was driving me crazy. I’m glad that it was addressed as fake because even reading it (rather than actually hearing it with my ears) was irritating. I don’t think I like Jack.
Once again I liked seeing Snow and Bigby thrown together, but I’m ready to hear about some other people, too. The story of the Barleycorn Brides was a nice note to end on. That’s one of my favorite James Jean covers.
One thing I like about reading Fables is the author’s take on our old favorites. Who would have thought so-and-so was so mean, silly, brave, willing to do that, etc?"
