Snow White Rose Red and Other Tales of Kind Young Women tells the tale of Snow-White & Rose Red saving an enchanted bear from an ungrateful goblin.

Marushka is sent to find strawberries in the snow by her cruel step-sister but wins the help of the Twelve Months. Ailsa climbs Mischanter Mountain to rescue her sister, armed with nothing more than her sewing kit and her parents' blessing.

Reinhilda outwits a witch and saves her sweetheart. A kind henwife helps Morag find a home for her family with the help of a magic pot. Agnes and a young Romany woman together overcome the curse of an enchanted cup. Brigid honours a promise she made, even though it takes her to the underworld and back.

With an introduction by Isobelle Carmody, Snow White Rose Red and Other Tales of Kind Young Women contains tales from Germany, Slovenia, Ireland and the Scottish Travellers. It will transform the way you think about fairy tales.
