The Robber Bridegroom
by Welty, Eudora
The Grimm's Brothers' fairy tale, The Robber Bridegroom, is retold through the lens of the American South in this Eudora Welty novel.
Set along the Natchez Trace, the story tells of Rosamond, who was kidnapped away from her home by a bandit. The tale contains mistaken identities, the cruel stepmother, beauty, terror, sex, and violence - all the best that fairy tales have to offer.
