Esther and Ysabel live in a small village near the edge of Faerie where they tend to the magic willows that border the river, singing to them and thanking them for their magical blessings. However, when Esther spurns a powerful suitor for her lover in Faerie, the suitor doesn't take kindly to her rejection, throwing Esther, Ysabel, and their family's livelihood into danger.
This was a short and lovely fairy tale, one that somehow seems both brand new and well-worn. El-Mohtar's language and the beautiful woodcut art in the book work to create a book that can be treasured. Highly recommend this book!
