Told Again by Walter De La Mare

Nineteen classic fairy tales, retold for younger readers in the early twentieth-century, including Rapunzel, Little Red Riding-Hood, Rumpelstiltskin, and The Sleeping Beauty.
"A wonderful book"—Michael Dirda, Washington Post
"A genuinely beautiful book. . . . These are stories that unfurl across a living landscape, however magical."—Billy O’Callaghan, Irish Examiner
"Each story has a remarkable read-aloud quality."—Anelise Farris, The Lion and the Unicorn
"This superb edition of Told Again brings a neglected work to twenty-first-century readers and is a great addition to the Oddly Modern Fairy Tales series. As Pullman’s introduction shows, the collection sheds light on a poet’s view of the wonder tale and its near relatives."—Pauline Greenhill, University of Winnipeg
