When the bakerwoman is kidnapped by the fairies to bake her delicious cakes for them alone, she uses all her wits to beat them at their own game. “While depicting a strong, resourceful heroine, Forest’s graceful retelling perfectly captures the story’s fairy-tale flavor. . . . Gaber’s haunting paintings range from the wonderfully eerie to the comfortably reassuring.”--Publishers Weekly

Aesop was a storyteller and slave who lived 2,500 years ago in ancient Greece. Because of his humble position in society, Aesop could not speak his thoughts openly. So he told fables, stories in which animals speak and act like people. Aesop could not speak out, but in his fables the animals could talk and comment on human society without rebuke. To this day, Aesop's fables are retold by storytellers the world over.

Traditional stories endure generation after generation because although they are not literal they resound in truths on a human scale. Folktales remind us of wisdom so elemental it is often lost in the rush of everyday life, so that sometimes common sense makes no sense at all.
