I'll need to take a closer look at the final copy to check out D'Andrades work. Sadly the galley I reviewed the book from didn’t contain any of the interior art.

Be sure to check out how smoothly they complement the text. Like peanut butter and jelly! Interesting factoid: Hugh also happens to be the son of Diane D'Andrade, esteemed children's book editor and UCSD writing instructor.

I can't resist dark fantasy, though, or fairy tale retellings. :) Thanks for this interview! I absolutely adore the premise–this does sound awesome, and I’m not a huge fan of horror!

I kept thinking how much I would have loved it as a kid. And "awesome" really is the best word to describe it. You'd think there'd have to be a more descriptive word, but that's the word that absolutely sticks in my mind about it. I just read Tale Dark and Grimm last week and LOVED it!
