At the bear's secret palace in faraway mountains, she is treated courteously but troubled by the bear's unfathomable sadness. As the bear's secret unravels, another adventure unfolds, which takes her to the homes of the four winds and beyond, to the castle east of the sun, west of the moon.

Jackie Morris does more than tell a story; she conjures glorious landscapes of the heart. Meg Rosoff
For The Unwinding:
A quiet masterpiece . . . a love story, a hope story, a story out of time, out of stricture, out of the narrow artificial bounds by which we try to contain the wild wonderland of reality because we are too frightened to live wonder-stricken. Maria Popova, Brain Pickings
The tales feel like half-remembered dreams, peopled with fairytale characters and magnificent creatures. Rebecca Armstrong, i Paper Best Books of 2020
