Summary:
Each page presents a pair of poems related to a traditional tale. The first poem tells the story from one perspective of the story. The second tells a different perspective. The surprise is that the 2nd poem is a "reverso" of the first - the lines are in the reverse order and are identical except for punctuation and capitalization. Quite a feat of genius!
