Comments

"These highly entertaining retellings are perfect for teens fans of fairy tales and classic literature, though they are easily enjoyed without any background knowledge. (starred review)

Ever the wordsmith, Yolen dazzles with her first short story collection for adults in years.

An impressive overview of the author's breadth and career, this collection will appeal to the author's existing devotees?or to anyone who has ever thought that happily ever after left too many questions.

With over 350 books, Jane Yolen is a legend in the world of children's and young-adult literature, but her acerbic and witty adult fiction and poetry offer their own pleasures. The 16 stories here, each accompanied by a related poem and notes, revisit some iconic classics, but always from a new, thought-provoking angle.

The best book I've read in a long time. ?Brandon Sanderson, author of Mistborn

The Emerald Circus dances at the border between bucking tradition and paying homage to the great stories and figures of ages past. The result is a brilliant assemblage of narratives with the potential to leave an audience spellbound. (starred review)

"These delightful retellings of favorite stories will captivate newcomers and fans of Yolen as she once again delivers the magic, humor, and lovely prose that has attracted readers for years. (starred review)
