Description: Subtitle in pre-publication: The untold stories of and by the writers behind the first fairy tales.
Review Quotes: "Fabulous French fairy tales and the equally dramatic life stories of their authors shine in this fascinating book by novelist Harrington (In Circling Flight)... VERDICT Written in a creative nonfiction style, this book fills an enormous gap in the history of fairy tales. It belongs on every shelf of literature relating to this art form."--Library Journal, starred review
