Wrede, author of the Enchanted Forest Chronicles\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFantasy icon Jane Yolen (\u003ci\u003eThe Devil's Arithmetic\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBriar Rose\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSister Emily's Lightship\u003c\/i\u003e) is adored by generations of readers of all ages. Now she triumphantly returns with this inspired gathering of fractured fairy tales and legends. 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. Each of these offerings features a new author note and original poem, illuminating tales that are old, new, and brilliantly refined.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeloved fantasy legend \u003cb\u003eJane Yolen\u003c\/b\u003e published her 365th book in 2018.
