remarkable storyteller who weaves a spell in this sweet, sexy, romantic
fable. At a time when it’s hard to turn on the television or pick up a
newspaper because of bad news, this is a book to pick up instead. It will warm
your heart.”

good and evil in her classic fairy tale. The climax of the book is a
revelation…A satisfying story for those who…enjoy a fairy-tale ending…Blumen’s
stunning illustrations that accompany the text are a beautiful contribution.”
