Troll's eye view a book of villainous tales

Datlow, Ellen. (Added Author). Windling, Terri. (Added Author).

Summary: Everyone thinks they know the real story behind the villains in fairy tales--evil, no two ways about it. But the villains themselves beg to differ. In this anthology for younger readers, you'll hear from the Giant's wife (from Jack and the Beanstalk), Rumpelstiltskin, the oldest of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, and more.
