Title: Folk Tales Gone Awry!
Review: American history does not need to be mundane. Fanatics of the past will drool over this collection of historical tales, told from non-traditional perspectives. Each of these short pieces of fiction retells classic stories in a intoxicatingly funny, yet authentic way. Carter is audacious in her plain yet twisted manner of story-telling. She contorts the stories of Lizzy Borden and Edgar Allen Poe in such a way that the reader will find herself somewhat befuddled. This is not to say that "Saints and Strangers" is not a well crafted collection of short stories. This book is indicative of Carter's mastery of putting a feminist spin on traditional folk tales.
