It’s 1942. German Nazis occupy much of France. And twelve-year-old Miriam, who is Jewish, is not safe. With help and quick thinking, Miri is saved from the roundup that takes her entire Jewish neighborhood. She escapes Paris, landing in a small French village, where the spires of the famous Chateau de Chenonceau rise high into the sky, its bridge across the River Cher like a promise, a fairy tale.
But Miri’s life is no fairy tale. Her parents are gone—maybe alive, maybe not. Taken in at the boarding school near the chateau, pretending to be Catholic to escape Nazi capture, Miri volunteers one night to undertake a deadly task, one that spans the castle grounds, its bridge, and the very border to freedom. Here is her chance to escape—hopefully to find her parents. But will she take it? One thing is certain: The person Miri meets that night will save her life. And the person Miri becomes that night could save the lives of many more.

A veces necesitamos perdernos para encontrar nuestro amor.
Querida Alejandra:
Desde el día en que te vi por primera vez en mi librería, supe que ibas a revolucionar mi vida. Con tus dudas, tus miedos, tu peculiar manera de considerarte no lectora. Con ese dolor y esa rabia que guardas desde hace años hacia un padre ausente. Pero también con tus colores, esos outfits imposibles, esa belleza que brilla fuera y dentro de ti, esa necesidad de comerte la vida a bocados mientras buscas un camino que seguir.
Un camino que, por ahora, te aleja de mí y te lleva a Gran Canaria. Temo que no vuelvas y me dejes con mis libros, con mi abuelo, algo perdido sin ti. Pero, si el viaje sirve para que te encuentres y te reconcilies con la vida, aguantaré. Te esperaré. Sé que las relaciones a distancia son un riesgo y lo que yo te ofrezco no es mucho… ¿Lo dejaría todo por ti? ¿Volverás a mí? Quién sabe, mi querida rubia, mi Álex.
As treasured today as they will undoubtedly be for generations to come, Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tales are cornerstones of our collective consciousness as much as of the Western literary canon. From The Ugly Duckling to The Little Mermaid and The Emperor’s New Clothes, this beautifully presented collection shares the eternal magic of these stories with a selection of eight tales, each illustrated with sparkling vintage artwork from the 1890s to the 1980s.
From Snow White to Cinderella, Rapunzel to Rumpelstiltskin, the Brothers Grimm bequeathed a canon of stories which have become literary and childhood classics. The most widely read story collection after the Bible, their magical tales are stalwarts of early learning and imagination, listed in UNESCO’s Memory of the World Register as a vital part of our history and culture.
