Once Upon a Rose(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Roses link four novellas by four romance writers. The best is
Roberts’ powerful fairy tale of a kingdom imprisoned in ice and
snow that features a wounded hero from another land who appreciates
all that the young hardworking queen does for her people, even
risking her own life to magically heal those who need it. Marianne
Willman’s story is about the daughter of a king hidden from the
evil sorceress queen by means of an amulet forged with rose petals.
Jill Gregory’s tale is of a princess who, upon her twentieth
birthday, will lose the protection that has kept her hidden from
the evil sorcerer who had slain her family. Her only hope of
surviving is to marry a man with a magical sword. Ruth Ryan Langan
tells of a mute girl in war-torn Scotland and a wounded warrior. As
with all collections, some stories will appeal more to some readers
than to others. Diana Tixier Herald。
