Publisher's Synopsis
This collection of seven short stories is a startling and imaginative take on the fairy tale form. Inspired by the Brothers Grimm, each narrative gently unfolds, reminiscent of ancient, oral storytelling. The reader is constantly taken in unexpected directions as the tales explore contemporary themes of jealousy, relationships, and death. The beautiful presentation includes stunning full color illustrations and several black-and-white woodcut-style illustrations by Wendy Straw.
