The good ones understand that scars are the best teachers.Īnd Leigh Bardugo gets that. But the good ones don't end before there's blood on the knife. The bad ones sing Careful what you wish for and Sometimes pretty isn't as important as smart with choruses of cute mice and bluebirds. They coddle and muffle and take all the sharp, dangerous edges off of the dirty business of learning important lessons in a world that's rarely as nice as we want it to be. They are candy apples with razorblades inside kisses touched with poison. Good fairy tales balance sweetness and nightmares. The hardest, sharpest, most attractive magic of fairy tales is their power to make you both want to live inside them - and be glad you never have to. Your purchase helps support NPR programming.
