Fairy Tales Which Are Good Reads For All Ages
A Review of
Jeff Chapman Tales of Woe and Wonder (Create Space, 2013)
98 pp. $4.74 ISBN: 978-1479373222
Review Editor: Forrest W. Schultz
It is rare that I am able to find a well written book review which expresses what I feel. The one below is such a review. One thing I would like to add to it is my praise for the excellent cover, which, by the way, is a painting by an excellent artist.
Reviewer: P. Creeden
"Held within these pages is a new take on the old Fairy Tale. Happily ever after is not guaranteed, just as in real life. These stories align with the Grimm tales in that no bad deed goes unpunished, and the foolish may end up in a witch's cauldron.
Jeff Chapman's bewitching use of prose kept me on the edge of my seat throughout such tales alike "The Hand and the Knife," and has renewed my interest in reading some of the older tales. He has created characters whose actions are believable in a fanciful world of goblins and elves. I am not usually one for fantasy in the usual sense, but this is an author I'll be keeping my eye on."
