Featuring:
- "Snow White"
- "Rumpelstiltskin"
- "Rapunzel"
- "The Twelve Dancing Princesses"
- "The Frog Prince"
- "Red Riding Hood"
"Astonishingly, they are as wholly personal as Anne Sexton's most intimate poems. Her metaphoric strength has never been greater -- really funny, among other things, a dark, dark laughter" -C.K. Williams
"I asked a poet friend one time what it was that poets did, and he thought awhile and then he told me, 'They extend the language.' Anne Sexton does a deeper favor for me: she domesticates my terror, examines it and describes it, teaches it some tricks which will amuse me, then lets it gallop into my forest once more." -- from the foreword by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
