Description
In this stunning retelling of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, a miller's daughter faces an impossible task: spin straw into gold or lose her firstborn child. When a mysterious, impish creature offers his help in exchange for promises that grow increasingly dire, she must rely on her wits and courage to survive. Paul O. Zelinsky's masterful oil paintings bring a dark and magical world to life, perfectly complementing the timeless themes of desperation, cleverness, and the true cost of bargains.
