Somewhere far away, the recalcitrant guardian of a magical bridge meets a wandering fool; a man with barely a name searches the world for meaning; a heartbroken princess with a girl gang of huntresses takes on matters of retribution; a talentless poet courts a disinterested gardener; a downtrodden orphan finds herself torn between equally bloodthirsty loves. In this second anthology of fairytales for the modern era, Olivie Blake brings you further tales of romance, each one a wistful meandering into whimsical comedy, incurable longing, and as always, the impractical persuasions of love.
