Rags & Bones,
edited by Melissa Marr and Tim Pratt, is out in a week or so (Headline £12.99):
“There are some stories that will always be told, tales as timeless as they are gripping. There are some authors who can tell any story.
In Rags & Bones, award-winning and best-selling authors retell classic fairy tales and twisted tales in the way that only they can. With magic and love, they bring these stories - whether much loved or overlooked - back to life.
Read ‘Sleeping Beauty’ as only Neil Gaiman can tell it. See ‘Rumpelstiltskin’ through the eyes of Kami Garcia. And learn of Rudyard Kipling's ‘The Man Who Would Be King’ from the inimitable Garth Nix.”
