Review: The Robber Bridegroom

The Robber Bridegroom The Robber Bridegroom by Eudora Welty
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The Robber Bridegroom is a southern inspired retelling of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale. Set along the Natchez trace, three shady men, Jamie Lockhart, Clement Musgrove, and Mink Fink meet along their respective trails. Enter Musgrove's beautiful daughter Rosamund and her ugly stepmother Salome. One tells lies and the other plots the daughter's demise.

This was a cute, quick story and the first time I have read Welty. I'll likely check out some of her longer novels.
