Rose and the Beast: Fairy Tales Retold

Beauty, Snow White, Rose Red -- you've met them all in many incarnations. Francesca Lia Block has introduced Charm, Snow, and Tiny -- as she imagines them -- in her most acclaimed work to date, now available in paperback. Within her singular, timeless landscapes, the brutal and the magical collide. In Block's retelling of these tales, the heroine triumphs because of the strength she finds in a pen, a paintbrush, a lover, a friend, a mother, and finally, in herself.
