GUEST POST:
Hi,
I am the evil grandmother from Red Riding Hood. Nice to meet you. I have a very
special hobby. I like crime - dangerous, vicious, cunning and glorious. Crime
is the best!
As
Reut Barak quite accurately described me:
“A
long time ago
in
a faraway land
there
lived a very evil old lady.
The
evil old lady lived in an evil old house, where her sinful schemes would
flourish and blossom!
Her
career of wickedness started the day she was born
and
went downhill ever since.
She
was corrupted to the core, and vicious beyond all reason,
and
her dark soul made a moonless night look blinding in comparison.
She
would cheat for fun and lie for joy. She would swindle, frame, and otherwise
deceive.
And
she ticked the Ten Commandments one by one.”
That’s
me. I want to tell you about my first crime.
Most
people start with stealing from the candy store, but I was very mature for my
age.
One
of my friends thought of organizing a whole scam around poisoning a witch and
steeling her magical broomstick, but I thought that it was too easy.
I
wanted to steel from a King. I wanted to take his rich gold, and I wanted him
to do it willingly. That was the kind of girl that I was!
Also,
I wanted a scheme that would twist the heads of all the people around him.
Just
for fun.
So
I found myself a famous tailor. Someone who worked for kings before.
And
I told him to make a king believe that there were magical clothes that only
wise men could see, and that they cost a fortune.
In
reality, we just made him wear nothing, but he would never admit that he
couldn’t see the “magical clothes”.
He
ended up parading down the largest street of his town, naked, and nobody said
anything, because they didn’t want to admit that they couldn’t see the
invisible clothes.
We
made a fortune!
It
was a great day.
I
don’t do such things anymore. I have a much more fun task now:
I
like to scare my granddaughter.
With
wolf stories.

Thank you for the amazing honest review:
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I like the fact that you noticed every one of the books as different in style, but certainly within the same magical world.
And, of course these fairy tales are meant for teens and adults, not for kids :)
Good luck with the series!
