by Kate Bernheimer (Author), Catherine Eyde (Illustrator)
Elegantly simple fairy tales of strangeness and wonder from a master of the form.
No one has done more for the contemporary fairy tale than Kate Bernheimer. In eight new stories, she leads us into a forest of everyday magic and misfits, where dinosaurs wear pajamas and talking dolls ruin your life. Elegant and brutal, Bernheimer's latest collection locates the existential loveliness of ideas amidst the topsy-turvy logic of things. This collection renews classic stories with intelligent wonder. Like one of Bernheimer's girls, whose hands of steel turn to flowers, the reader will marvel.Author Biography
