Book Description
In The Serpent Bride, K.V. Johansen weaves a haunting web of magic, tinged by a sprightly amusement. She tells stories of transformation and witchcraft, of dragon children and heartbroken knights, of trolls and dark treachery, but her work is not bleak. Good magic appears in feathered cloaks, gentle hearts and help from beyond the grave.

Wonderful retellings of traditional ballads
May 1 2008
Format:Paperback
KV Johansen has taken a number of medieval ballads (story-telling songs) and retold them as short stories. The overall effect is like a book of fairy tales, with princes and princess, witches and transformations. If you have any interest in European folk tales and legends, traditional music, or fantasy stories, this collection is a wonderful treat. Rarely have I read anything so rich in tradition and beautifully told.
