About
The multi-award-winning anthologists present a story collection of modern interpretations of classic fairy tales.
Lonely and withdrawn since her father's death, "The Girl in the Attic" finds love and understanding where she least expects it in Lois Metzger's poignant reimagining of "Rapunzel."
A young woman marries her neighbor to save her family from poverty-only to encounter her husband's dark "Chambers of the Heart"-in this tale of "Bluebeard" from Nina Kiriki Hoffman.
Inspired by the old British folk ballad "Cruel Sister," Gregory Frost's "The Harp That Sang" tells a story of jealousy, greed, murder, and spiritual vengeance between two sisters.
"Tom Thumb" is born in a laboratory-and discovers he is not the only product of unusual experiments-in "A Life in Miniature" by Bruce Coville.
In Katherine Vaz's "My Swan Sister," a family learns the value of sharing love in the time allotted to them in this beautiful retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Wild Swans."
From editors Ellen Datlow and Terri Windling comes Swan Sister: Fairy Tales Retold, which collects these stories and eight more from New York Times–bestselling, award-winning, and fan favorite authors sharing their own unique visions of folklore.
Other contributors include:
Neil Gaiman * Kathe Koja * Tanith Lee * Christopher Rowe * Will Shetterly * Midori Snyder * Jane Yolen * Pat York
