The Vanishing Virgin - Harvey Jacobs
I’m not familiar with the fairy tale this is based on, but I did find this one of the more enjoyable stories I’ve read so far in this anthology. It tells the tale of a stage magicians wife and magicians assistant, and how she found her true love (and maybe true magic?).

Glass Coffin - Caitlín R. Kiernan
OK - I've listened to this one twice, and neither time could I manage to actually focus on the story. Maybe I'll try again later, but for now will be moving on.

Carabosse
I really liked this one. It’s a short poem, giving the author’s twist on the story of Sleeping Beauty. No evil fairy, just someone willing to give the young child a chance at a normal life.
The Price
Rumplestiltskin, though a more sympathetic character and a true friend to the poor miller’s daughter, rather than someone trying to take advantage of her plight.
Glass Coffin
A modern fairy tale.

Intro, Windling & Datlow
DO NOT skip the intro. I found it interesting and informative.
Kiss Kiss Tanith Lee
A retelling of The Frog Prince (I think the intro said there would be 3). I must admit that as I was listening to this, I hyperfocused on the golden ball. For some reason, my head got stuck on it and wondered if we could draw any comparisons between it and Eilonwy's bauble (aka the Golden Pelydryn).
