"[Yolen is] the Aesop of the twentieth century"
--The New York Times

Fantasy legend Jane Yolen (The Emerald Circus, The Devil's Arithmetic) delights with these effortlessly wide-ranging transformed fairy tales. Yolen fractures the classics to reveal their crystalline secrets, holding them to the light and presenting them entirely transformed, from a spinner of straw as a money-changer and to the big bad wolf retiring to a nursing home. Rediscover the fables you once knew, rewritten and refined for the world we now live in.
