About the Author: Beloved fantasy legend Jane Yolen published her 365th book in 2018.
Each of these offerings features a new author note and original poem, illuminating tales that are old, new, and brilliantly refined.
Yolen breaks open the classics to reveal their crystalline secrets: a philosophical bridge that misses its troll, a spinner of straw as a falsely accused moneylender, the villainous wolf adjusting poorly to retirement.
Now she triumphantly returns with this inspired gathering of fractured Fairy tales and legends.
Wrede, author of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles Fantasy icon Jane Yolen (The Devil\'s Arithmetic, Briar Rose, Sister Emily\'s Lightship) is adored by generations of readers of all ages.
This is magic."--Patricia C. "This collection is Jane Yolen at her best
