Fairy tales for our times from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The HoursNamed a Best Book of the Year by NPR, Slate, and BustleA poisoned apple and a monkeys paw with the power to change fate; a girl whose extraordinarily long hair causes catastrophe; a man with one human arm and one swans wing; and a house constructed of gumdrops and gingerbread. In A Wild Swan and Other Tales, the people and the talismans of lands far, far away-the mythic figures of our childhoods and the source of so much of our wonder-are transformed by Michael Cunningham into stories of sublime revelation.Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed: the years after a spell is broken, the rapturous instant of a miracle unexpectedly realized, or the fate of a prince only half cured of a curse. Reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, and exquisitely illustrated by Yuko Shimizu, rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true.
