Can’t Catch Me and Other Twice-Told Tales by Michael Cadnum ISBN: Trade Paperback: 978-1-892391-33-9; Digital: 978-1-61696-274-6 Published: 2006 Available Format(s): Trade Paperback and Digital Books Description Available now in Digital Books! “Turns the familiar on its head, from basilisk to gingerbread man, and makes you forget, for a few charmed moments, that these aren’t quite the tales you thought you knew.” —Patricia A. McKillip, author of The Forgotten Beasts of Eld and Wonders of the Invisible World Discover National Endowment for the Arts fellowship-recipient Michael Cadnum’s groundbreaking collection of deftly rearranged myths and fairy tales. Can’t Catch Me, featuring six original tales, rekindles the excitement of adored childhood adventures. These witty, perceptive tales cleverly twist, turn, and veer off into unexpected, enchanting territory. Twice-told, Cadnum’s narratives are newly revealed through their supporting casts, from the giant’s wife who simply wants Jack to bugger off (so she can continue collaborating on poetry), to a bratty, unrepentant Gingerbread Man sounding off on overprotective parents, meddlesome neighbors, and untrustworthy foxes.
