A Handful of Beans: Six Fairy Tales Retold

Six fairy tales are told anew,And spiced with picturesquite a few.It took a pair of Steigs to do ' 'Twas Jeanne who wrote 'em. William drew 'em. Here's Rumpelstiltskin, in a rage; The Frog Prince hops right off the page; Hansel and Gretel thwart the witch; Jack slays the giant (and gets rich); Red Riding Hood and Gram survive; The Beast and Beauty wed, and thrive. That's quite enough. The book's a killer. To say more would be idle filler.
