Publisher's Synopsis

  • Bernheimer is the most prominent contemporary writer of fairy tales, working at the same level as Angela Carter once did
  • Bernheimer's expertise in this area includes collaborations with Jack Zipes (the form's most notable scholar) and editing the Fairy Tale Review>
  • Ben Percy, in the New York Times, recently said "Anyone attracted to fairy tales and fables should check out the stories and criticism of Kate Bernheimer."
  • Kate is an active supporter of other writers and has real reach (not the least because of her very successful work as an anthologist), which translates to a significant network for promotion of her book through critical attention and joint events
  • The stories in the collection are decidedly not for children, with a sophistication belied by their simplicity, and a moral seriousness that gives them heft and staying power
