Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "East" by Edith Pattou to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "East"Browse more products related to "Edith Pattou"Review"Pattou has kept faith with the story's antiquity and taken it seriously enough to ground the fantasy in patient detail, never indulging in a portentous style or coy contemporary self-consciousness. Instead, the writing is as steady in its perseverance through complexities as the heroine is....Erstwhile fairy-tale readers will find themselves enchanted." "Pattou unfolds her story slowly and carefully, luring readers across many miles with the brave and determined Rose. Handsomely evoking a landscape filled with castles, trolls, shamans and spellbound princes, the story will exercise its audience's imagination." Publisher's noteFull of fear and excitement, Rose, a young woman, journeys to a distant castle on the back of a great white bear, only to find that her journey has just begun, in a retelling of the classic tale, "East of the Sun and West of the Moon." AnnotationIn a small Norwegian village lives a girl named Rose who has always been different from the rest of her family. When a talking bear promises that he will grant her family health and prosperity if she comes away with him, Rose agrees to his proposal. Now living in the bear's magical castle, Rose most solve a series of mysterious puzzles in order to discover her true purpose in life. This is a novel-length retelling of the traditional story "East of the Sun and West of the Moon."
