How could she ever succeed?Only with the help of a strange little man with a magical touch. But he exacted a dreadful promise in returnWith lyricism and grace, John Cech retells this suspenseful story, and provides fascinating background on its origins. Martin Hargreaves offers richly elaborate artwork that truly captures the characters personalities and their far-away fairy-tale world."
