A woman who's a fox-a kitchen maid who's a princess-and a walnut with a wardrobe!   Princess Hallgerd hides where no one will be likely to find her: working as a cook's dogsbody, lighting fires, peeling potatoes, and toting kettles.  Her only friend is Nanna, her family's longtime caregiver.  On the plus side, she's found out that 'Nanna' is really Carae Mná, a centuries-old Irish witch.  On the minus side, they're both in hiding from the witch's oldest enemy, a mage who has taken over Hallgerd's father and her land.  How can Hallgerd win back her home and Nanna her human skin? And what about that wardrobe in the walnut? Pelzmantel spins a tale of medieval magic where people and things are seldom what they seem to be on the surface.  Infused with genuine magical lore and history, this inspired retelling of the Grimm Brothers' "Allerleirau" uncovers the seldom-glimpsed world behind the glitz: the hard work that keeps a castle running and the secrets lives of women in the Middle Ages.  This edition includes three additional magical stories (one never before published) and an essay on medieval magic.
