Product Description

Product Description
Three dark, powerful tales, as sinister as anything the Brothers Grimm came up with, of jealousy and fear, of age and beauty, of growing up and of wanting to be a child for ever. Duffy's writing is astonishingly beautiful as she seductively draws you in to a shadowy fairy-tale world.

About the Author
Carol Ann Duffy is widely acclaimed as Britain's leading female poet. She was born in Glasgow, grew up in Staffordshire and studied philosophy at Liverpool University. She has won many awards in recognition of her work, including the Whitbread Prize, the Signal Prize and the Forward Prize for Poetry. Carol Ann now lives in Manchester.
