Description

A rose elf witnesses a lover’s murder by a wicked brother, then follows jasmine planted over a buried head as flower-spirits prick the killer with poisoned dreams and bees arrive too late to find him already dead. Andersen’s dark fairy tale of grief, perfume, and nature’s revenge. Other tales widen the strange bloom of justice and wonder.
