I love seeing the classic fairy tales you know in this way. It's very fun and enjoyable and also at times kind of deep for a middle grade book.

"This fabulous collection of reworked fairy tales blew me away when I first read it, at eighteen. I've returned to it many times since then, and always find something new in it."

Prior's second novel was more of a fantasy/fairy tale than her more reality-based first novel Read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/12/20/the-scent-for-infatuation/
  
I love fairy tales, and I love Doctor Who, so this book was absolutely perfect. It's also a wonderful combination of retold familiar tales and original stories that are in the vein of fairy tales.

I found it fun that in most stories, I could clearly identify which Doctor was appearing in that story. I also appreciated that he is often not the main character.

It was so much fun to read that it was over far too quickly.
