Spindle's Endby Robin Mckinley
Synopses & ReviewsSynopsis:The infant princess Briar Rose is cursed on her name day by Pernicia, an evil fairy, and then whisked away by a young fairy to be raised in a remote part of a magical country. But the curse was cast: Sometime in the future Rosie would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a poisoned sleep. Description:Putnam welcomes Newbery Award-winner Robin McKinley! "We will keep her safe." All the creatures of the forest knew the infant was special. She was the princess, spirited away from the evil fairy Pernicia on her name day. But the curse was cast: Sometime in the future Rosie would prick her finger on the spindle of a spinning wheel and fall into a poisoned sleep from which no one could rouse her. Katriona, the young fairy who whisked Rosie away as an infant, and her aunt raise the princess as if she's their own in order to protect her. No other human, not even Rosie herself, knows her true identity. But Pernicia is looking for Rosie, and her powers are strong. She is so intent on revenge that even the fairies and animals who love Rosie may not be able to save her. In the tradition of highly acclaimed Beauty and Rose Daughter, Robin McKinley again creates a "heady mix of fairy tale, magic, and romance that has the power to exhilarate" (Publishers Weekly).
