Speaking of Fairy Tales, A.S. Byatt has a wonderful one (one of many
wonderful ones by her) called "The Story of the Eldest Princess" that's
printed in _The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror Sixth Annual Collection_ (Ed.
Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling). The princess of the title knows she's
stuck in a story and goes against what's expected of her.
Also, poet Anne Sexton rewrote about 15 fairy tales and published them in a
volume called _Transformations_. She gives horriffic, sexual twists to the
diluted tales of today and tells them with biting wit.
Enjoy!
