Read a sample from the book.
Not all women are sweet and docile princesses. Sometimes they are
witches, foxes, or dogs gone wild and looking to bite. The retelling
of old tales in this collection recognizes the feral lurking within
them. And so, a young woman, abetted by a griffin, seeks to free
herself from a literally heartless man, twelve dancing sisters lure
men to their doom, business-minded witches peddle everything from
moonshine to manufactured tragedies, and the desperate wife of a king
demanding she bear him a son makes a deal with a fox.
Reviews Johnson presents five thought-provoking stories that reimagine the
framework of the European fairy tale with a focus on women’s
perspectives and a sense of rewilding....[H]er prose evokes the
timeless rhythms of folklore and the stories work even without
familiarity with their referents. Balancing the timeless and the
contemporary, Johnson’s latest is sure to win fans.-
