Good read, but with problems

3 stars

I loved the concept, and the selection of stories was good. However, I would have liked to have sources for the myths (and folktales - not all are myths), because the claim that "None of the stories retold here have been significantly changed" doesn't really stand up. Significant elements were changed in most of them (the ones I know anyway) - not in terms of queerness, but in terms of narrative and symbolism. A lovely read, but more of a creative adaptation than a retelling.
