Back in July 2022, we featured Second Star to the Left in our monthly box and readers were crazy for the spicy fairytale retelling. Son historias cortas, de entre una y quince páginas, y es verdad que algunas no me han dicho gran cosa, pero en general me ha parecido un libro entretenido e interesante para conocer los cuentos populares de otras culturas. Some of these are extremely obvious, like the cautionary tale about incest, but because so many of the lessons applied to the villain and not the hero, it took me a little bit to notice how resoundingly this body of culture condemns the abuse of stepchildren. Send a child on a magical adventure where they’ll star alongside Cinderella, Goldilocks and the Three Little Pigs.

The cover may have some limited signs of wear but the pages are clean, intact and the spine remains undamaged. She was there at the same time as Roland Barthes, who published his experiences in Empire of Signs (1970).

Por ejemplo, varios de ellos recuerdan tanto a Piel de asno como a La Cenicienta, hay una especie de versión del cuento de los cisnes que eran príncipes hechizados a los que su hermana tenía que desencantar, y hay uno sobre una leona del que aparecen tres o cuatro versiones diferentes en este libro. The trade-off for that of course is that few of the stories can amount to more than that weirdness, but given their length that's probably fine. I would use it for students who are moving on to reading larger paragraphs and expanding their vocabulary.
