Transformations
Seventeen tales out of the Brothers Grimm are handed to a middle-aged narrator who calls herself a witch and opens each with a prologue from her own life before letting the story run. A queen consults her mirror and is told about a girl of thirteen, a daughter is shut in a tower with hair enough to climb, a sleeping beauty wakes each night in terror of her father. The book that made suburban America and the fairy tale one country.
