Enchanted Garden Book Club

What is the Enchanted Garden Book Club?

Every three months, ​both sisters read and review a selected fairy-tale retelling. We then discuss the book together.
For each book we discuss, we're covering six questions:
  1. In what ways is the retelling similar to the original fairy tale?
  2. How are the two stories different?
  3. Did the retelling retain enough of the original to be satisfying? Why or why not?
  4. What did the retelling do better than the original?
  5. What gaps did the retelling fill in that were missing in the original?
  6. Any additional thoughts about this book?
