About This Item
Synopsis
Jane Yolen weaves an astoundingly powerful retelling of an old fairy tale. The main character, Rebecca, loves her grandmother Gemma's version of Sleeping Beauty, although it differs from the traditional telling. The old woman is dying and claims to Rebecca, "I am Briar Rose." Is there more to Gemma's story than idle entertainment for her young granddaughter?
