(Read by Lili Taylor and Billy Hough; Macmillan Audio; 3 CDs; 3 hours)
These rather risqu茅 retellings of classic fairy tales are clever, enticing, and imaginative, but not for the kiddies. Modern, dark, and accompanied by original music, they are enhanced by the narrators, who veer between charm and ferocity, subtly delivering the undercurrents in Michael Cunningham鈥檚 prose.
