Description: Elegantly simple fairy tales where nonsense is as commonplace as violence from a master of the form.
Synopsis: Bernheimer is the most prominent contemporary writer of fairy tales, working at the same level as Angela Carter once didBernheimer's expertise in this area includes collaborations with Jack Zipes (the form's most notable scholar) and editing the Fairy Tale Review>Ben Percy, in the New York Times, recently said "Anyone attracted to fairy tales and fables should check out the stories and criticism of Kate Bernheimer."Kate is an active supporter of other writers and has real reach (not the least because of her very successful work as an anthologist), which translates to a significant network for promotion of her book through critical attention and joint eventsThe stories in the collection are decidedly not for children, with a sophistication belied by their simplicity, and a moral seriousness that gives them heft and staying power
