Presents nine classic fairy tales set in modern, magical landscapes and retold with a twist.
Beauty, Snow White, Rose Red—you’ve met them all in many incarnations. Then, Francesca Lia Block introduced Charm, Snow, and Tiny—as she imagined them—in her most acclaimed work to date, now available in paperback. Within her singular, timeless landscapes, the brutal and the magical collide. In Block’s retelling of these tales, the heroine triumphs because of the strength she finds in a pen, a paintbrush, a lover, a friend, a mother, and finally, in herself.
