Discover the story of Bluebeard's first wife ( Blood From Stone ), what really happened to Snow White in those dark woods ( The Unicorn Hunter ), how dangerous the Little Mermaid might have been ( Blood and Water ), and just how far Little Red Riding Hood was willing to go ( Hero Worship ). Included in this collection is Sunday, the original novelette that inspired the award-winning novel Enchanted, as well as The Cursed Prince, the previously untold history of Prince Rumbold of Arilland&and more. Woodcutter enthusiasts will rejoice at this opportunity to delve into the secret worlds beyond Kontiss intricately woven fantasy novels. If you are not a fan yet, you will be!
