Jane Yolen's tale of magic and mists, of charms and chants, and of a lonely little girl whose life began in the woodsman's house. She befriends the woodland creatures who in turn keep her warm and fed during the harsh winter months, protecting her from the beast that roams the forest. A wicked sorceress searches the woodsman's house for the charm that will lead her to fabled riches. This artfully crafted original fairy tale is brought to life by Jane Dyer's beautifully wrought illustrations.
