"A well-turned tale…"

My Impressions: Another retelling of the Grimm Tales…really? But what can I say, I'm a sucker for a well-turned 'Tale (tee hee). But seriously a cute premise and some amusing teasers and taglines won me over.

The Plot Thins: So, this is a modern spoof of the original Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. It's a fable in the truest sense of the word…the short, simple story of the intelligent, not-quite beautiful but hard-working heroine Snow White…who is well-liked by everyone except

"A well-turned tale…"

My Impressions: Another retelling of the Grimm Tales…really? But what can I say, I'm a sucker for a well-turned 'Tale (tee hee). But seriously a cute premise and some amusing teasers and taglines won me over.

The Plot Thins: So, this is a modern spoof of the original Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. It's a fable in the truest sense of the word…the short, simple story of the intelligent, not-quite beautiful but hard-working heroine Snow White…who is well-liked by everyone except her step-mother (the queen). The queen stupidly plots to kill Snow with a poisoned apple (see next section for more on this). The seven dwarfs are actually artisans each with their own special talent. This is a source of much humor during the multiple attempts on Snow's life by her apple-wielding step mother.

Lore and Lunacy: The story pokes fun at some of the classic elements of the original tale. Snow White herself and her incandescent beauty…she's just ok-looking in this version. The ridiculously vein step-mother and the poison apple she employs as a murder weapon. The Dwarfs don't fall for the old poison apple trick…so she runs through a bushel or two before Snow finally eats one (tee hee). And lastly, the magic mirror. He's not just a rhyming enabler anymore…but a snarly hater who tells the Queen (Step)mother where to get off…lol.

Minor Beefs: There are some odd typos present. With the writing done in such a simplistic way, it seems almost lazy for there to be as many obvious typos as there are. Also, the end was too abrupt, I thought.

Random Thoughts: Should this really be a single, stand-alone book? Wouldn't it be better to combine it with the latter two entries in the trilogy (Cinderella & Red Riding Hood) to form a Funny Fairy Tales Anthology? The short length of the stories, the simplistic plotlines, the spoof-ish nature of it all just naturally lends itself to a big-book-of-tall-tales type compilation. Certainly, there should be some warning to potential readers that the story is literally a fable told in five or six pages of narrative inexplicably spaced out over approximately 150 pages to form a book. Literally, there are only one or two sentences on each page! Some pages have four or five sentences. I read the entire "book" in like 5 minutes. No joke.

The Verdict: Over too quick, but I liked it. Short, cute, and funny. It made me laugh. Plus, this was a nice break from some of the darker full-lengths that I read.

There once was a magician, a magic mirror, and Anagrola. Anagrola was unhappy and talked the magician into giving her his magic mirror, Shraga and let her go marry a king which he did after a lot of debate. But Anagrola was still unhappy and focused on her looks and bothered Shraga all the time. He finally told her that Snow White, the kings daughter from a previous marriage was prettier than her. Anagrola get jealous and tries to get rid of her but Snow White finds employment with seven dwarfs There once was a magician, a magic mirror, and Anagrola. Anagrola was unhappy and talked the magician into giving her his magic mirror, Shraga and let her go marry a king which he did after a lot of debate. But Anagrola was still unhappy and focused on her looks and bothered Shraga all the time. He finally told her that Snow White, the kings daughter from a previous marriage was prettier than her. Anagrola get jealous and tries to get rid of her but Snow White finds employment with seven dwarfs that need some serious management. But when Anagrola learns Snow White is still alive she sets out to try and poison her with several apples.

This is a cute retelling of Snow White. Personally I like the mirror and could see him planning some way to knock himself off the wall in an attempt at suicide. Anagrola was spiteful and vain and takes it serious when Shraga tells her Snow White, who is no beauty in this story, is prettier than her. Of course the dwarves are hilarious and the whole using an apple to try and kill the girl was over the top.

My only complaint was this book says it is 157 pages long but it only has one sentence or less per page. It was annoying having to turn the page every sentence. But this is a cute retelling and a quick read.

I received Funny Fairy Tales 1 from the author and Reading Addiction Virtual Book Tours for free. This has in no way influenced my opinion of this book.

Set in far away lands with modern tendencies, these are three short re-telling of the classic tales - Snow White, Cinderella and Red Riding Hood. They were very short indeed but humorous, I had to admit I laughed! The characters are filled with such attitude, especially the Mirror in Snow White he was a hoot!

Snow and her evil stepmother who tries in vain to kill her, Cinderella who is allergic to everything and then there is Red with her evil Grandmother.

Snow and her evil stepmother who tries in vain to kill her, Cinderella who is allergic to everything and then there is Red with her evil Grandmother.

They are humorous but I found them too short, 10-15 mins each and I hate the way they were edited  - especially Cinderella's story where the countdown to midnight was spread over several pages.

They were lacking something for me, but if you are looking for a short funny read to kill 10 mins give them a read.

This is definitely a new spin on the old Fairy Tales I great up with. In this version We meet the magician who created Shraga the talking mirror, The talking mirror and learn more about the evil Step Mother Anagrola.

This is a grown up version of the story complete with 1 f-bomb. I love how everyone has attitude, even the mirror. At times the story is sad like when we see what the poor magician has become without his friend Shraga the mirror. My Favorite part was when Queen Anagrola was trying to

This is a grown up version of the story complete with 1 f-bomb. I love how everyone has attitude, even the mirror. At times the story is sad like when we see what the poor magician has become without his friend Shraga the mirror. My Favorite part was when Queen Anagrola was trying to kill Snow White, and how many times it took before she finally got it.

This is a great series but not for the kids.

In this funny retelling Snow White isn't your average princess, the evil step-mother has a chip on her shoulder and the magic mirror isn't taking any crap. This quick retelling had me laughing with parallels to the current world, with a queen overly obsessed with beauty and receiving sarcastic and incorrect information from an overly sarcastic magic mirror and the dwarves being the smartest people around, the fairy tale world doesn't seem too far removed from our current state.

Reut Barak has really hit this collection out of the park. Each of these installments are familiar, yet fresh. They have unique and fun twists on them and a whole lot of humor and wit thrown in. I love re-tellings and re-imaginings of classics.

I think each of these are great quick and hilarious reads for anyone looking for an escape and laugh.

My personal favorite of these three was Cinderella. I think the allergy aspect was ingenious and ironic.

Characters you couldn't stand are now good? I loved

While arranging concerts in the city and managing artists, she discovered her passion for business. She joined fellow entrepreneurs in the 2013-2014 class at the University of Oxford, with a scholarship to study business (MBA), where she founds that creativity goes far beyond art. She later had a taste of corporate life, seeing the inside workings of some of the world's largest finance, energy and manufacturing companies. Leaving the world of corporate drama behind, she now pursues her dreams of becoming a fiction novelist, a self published vegan author, blogger and youtuber. She first arrived in Scotland as a hiker, eager to explore the mysterious highlands..

Well, no not really… The true story is:

Once upon a time…

Reut was born in Camelot in the year 1201, following the famous explosion of the northern dragon tower.

She has a degree in fantasy and science fiction from the University of Atlantis and this record can be found in the central library, now twenty thousand leagues under the sea.

She likes phoenix riding, dragon fighting and painting the roses red.

And Grimm's Fairy Tales 🙂
