Mother Knows Best by Serena Valentino

Mother Knows Best by Serena Valentino

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES * This enchanting novel examines the tangled truths behind one of Disney's most devious villains: Mother Gothel.

Sometimes...she just let herself drift into other worlds--worlds she desperately wanted to inhabit. The world of magic. And this day was no different...

The tale of the legendary golden flower is widely known. The story has been told many times and in many ways. But always the flower is coveted by an old witch to keep herself young and beautiful. And always the flower is used to save a dying queen, who then gives birth to a princess with magical hair. Not willing to lose the flower, the old witch steals the princess and locks her away in a high tower, raising her as her own. But the princess always finds out who she truly is and manages to defeat the old witch.

And yet this is only half the story. So what of the old witch, Mother Gothel? Where does she come from? And how does she come across the magical golden flower? Here is one account that recounts a version of the story that has remained untold for centuries . . . until now. It is a tale of mothers and daughters, of youth and dark magic. It is a tale of the old witch.

Serena Valentino is most known for her revolutionary work on the GloomCookie and Nightmares & Fairy Tales comic book series. Fairest of All, her debut novel, is a unique take on Disney's Snow White from the perspective of the Evil Queen, the film's villain.
