Description:
Tanith Lee has been called "the Angela Carter of the fantasy field" for he sensuous prose, dark imagination and fascination for old fairy tales. She thrilled readers with her adult fairy tale stories in collections like Red as Blood and Forests of the Night. Now she gives us a full novel-length version of her favorite old tale, "Snow White" -- set in a land of crumbling palaces and haunted forests, a tale in which ancient myths and beliefs collide with a new religion and new way of life.
Expand description
Arpazia is the queen cold as snow who gives birth to a daughter with hair black as night and lips as red as blood ... but she wants nothing to do with the child, violently conceived the night her father's castle was sacked and taken. The child, Coira, grows up virtually abandoned in a warlord's palace ... until the elder gods lure mother and daughter into the woods.
The book also features an introduction by Terri Windling about the history of the "Snow White" tale and modern fairy-tale fiction.
