Through the Water Curtain and Other Tales from Around the World | Cornelia Funke

I was so upset at the lack of fairy tale vibes in The Night Country by M. Albert, that I read this book in one sitting. The volume opens with one of my favorite fairy tales, The Boy Who Drew Cats, and the rest of the tales did not disappoint. Plus, the cover is gorgeous! This is the first time in a while that I “angry read” a book. 🤨🙃
