Media Reviews
"The fairy tales in this book are both dark and bright, with pain and anger, wonder and hope. They are new tales spun from the threads of the old. Through the metaphoric language of fantasy, they look into the darkest shadows of the night, yet find by night's end the silver glimmer of dawn." -- Terri Windling
