Three's the Charm consists of two novellas and one short story that draw from European myths, fairy tales, and folk stories. These are definitely not sanitized Disney tales intended for children. The Persephone myth is re-envisioned to include significant female resistance with a little help from some imp allies. Snow White is mad, bad, and dangerous to know. The folk tale "The Two Sisters" includes extra siblings. Three's the Charm breaks the mirror such tales hold up to reality and re-arranges the fragments into something unexpected.
