The Kinder- und Hausmärchen have been, Pullman reminds us, a staple for Western readers for the past two centuries. He impresses all the more by turning these classics into short, taut tales which seethe with dark energy and offer a new punch with their stripped down telling, their curtly delivered savagery and their mix of the comic and the macabre.
