. . . Around the castle there grew a hedge of

thorns, which every year grew higher, and at last

there was nothing more to be seen, not even the flag

upon the roof. But the story of the beautiful sleeping

princess, Briar Rose, went about the country so that

from time to titne the King's sons came and tried to get

through the thorny hedge ...

So goes the German fairy tale of Briar Rose, the

Sleeping Beauty ... an old, old tale, yet so potent

that few among us do not know it today. Novi one

of America's most celebrated writers tells it afresh,

set this time in forests patrolled by the German

army during World War 11-a tale with no

guarantee of an ending that reads they lived

happily ever after.

A young American journalist is drawn to

Europe and to the past as she investigates the

mystery of her grandmother's life. From her

grandmother she inherited a silver ring, a

photograph, and the traditional tale of Briar

Rose: clues that will ultimately lead her to a

distant land and an astonishing revelation of

death and rebirth.

The story of the Holocaust, like the story of

Sleeping Beauty, is indeed familiar-yet such is a

master storyteller's skill that along the way we

learn the tale anew. This is a tale of life and

death, of love ar i hate, despair and faith. A

tale of castles and thorns and sharp barbed wire.

This is Briar Rose.

"In a better world we shall heariane Yolen's tales

with Oscar Wilde's, Hans Christian Andersen's,

and Charles Perrault's over a winter's eve of ten

thousand years. "- Gene Wolfe

THE FAIRY TALE SERIES

CREATED BY TERRI WINDLING

ONCE UPON A TIME..

... fairy tales were written for young and

old alike. It is only in the last century that

they have been deemed fit for children and

stripped of much of their original complexity,

sensuality, and power to frighten and delight.

Tor Books is proud to present the latest

offering in the Fairy Tale Series-a growing

library of beautifully-designed original novels

by acclaimed writers of fantasy and horror,

each retelling a classic tale such as Snow

White and Rose Red, Briar Rose, Tam Lin,

and Katie Crackernuts in interesting-

often startling-new ways.

grounded in history: they emanate from specift struggles to humanize

terror through metaphors. "
