Fairy Tales from the Rock
In the beginning, fairy tales were all we had.
Tales to explain the unexplained, to impart morality, and culture. But more often than not, to warn.
From the editors of the From the Rock anthologies comes a new selection of stories, carefully curated from some of Newfoundland and Labrador’s favourite authors. Between these pages, old tales are revisited, familiar foes lurk, and fairy tales for the modern age are born.
Including the work of Bronwynn Erskine ( By Reservation Only ), Melissa Bishop ( The Fairies of Foggy Island ) and David James Lynch ( All Things Broken ).

Fairy tales from the rock …..
Hers a tip for this book take your time and read it carefully don’t miss anything !
what caught my eye about this book other than it being a Newfoundland book was the very beautiful and unique cover it was different than other books
The first couple stories and chapters went by good the stories were a bit different but very interesting and intriguing
The stories are very interesting but some are not tales from the rock non the less they are still quite page turning
I really enjoyed the tale about the Newfoundland ferries I couldn’t get enough of it I really enjoy Newfoundland folk tales and stories like this one
All in all I really enjoyed this book at times I felt not as drawn as other parts but still had my uninterrupted attention
Good job to all authors and Publisher

Some of these stories I absolutely loved, but there was a lot of fairy tales with a science fiction based setting and science fiction is my least favorite genre. Definitely a fun read, more of a personal issue with the genre.

Great book but the story about the 3 sisters has random name changes and spelling/punctuation mistakes. Had to read back over the name changes to see if I missed anything
