In her thoughtfully presented micro-collection, Garg takes five classic tales together with a nursery rhyme and shifts the focus to what lies beyond or outside the frame of the original story. She imagines what happened to the parents in Hamelin once the Pied Piper left with their children, why Jack and Jill needed a pail of water and a darkly enchanting mash-up of Sleeping Beauty and Goldilocks, among others.
Garg writes with poise and polish as she carves captivating, thought-provoking narratives around well-loved classics while retaining their authenticity. Fresh, original, and brushed with bewitchment, THE WITCH’S APPRENTICE AND OTHER STORIES is an entrancing little compilation that delights and intrigues.
