Synopsis

When the bakerwoman is kidnapped by the fairies to bake her delicious cakes for them alone, she uses all her wits to beat them at their own game. “While depicting a strong, resourceful heroine, Forest’s graceful retelling perfectly captures the story’s fairy-tale flavor. . . . Gaber’s haunting paintings range from the wonderfully eerie to the comfortably reassuring.”--Publishers Weekly
