Bookish Mashups...
/A tenet of readers far and wide is that stories, and the language used to form them, are emblematic of the times in which they are written. And the stories that writers revisit are transformed a little with each retelling. Changing over the course of years that pass as well as the number of narratives spun. Embodying new tropes and giving voice to the heretofore speechless.You may think you know all there is to know about myths, about the classics, and the fairytales, but you will find yourself enthralled by the plot twists and delighted by the audacity of characters who have long been relegated to supporting cast.
