A beautifully illustrated retelling of the classic fairy tale by the Kate Greenaway Medal-winning co-author of The Lost Words
From the moment she saw him, the girl knew the bear had come for her. How many times had she dreamt of him? Now, here he was, as if spelled from her dreams. This encounter marks the beginning of a long and extraordinary journey for the girl. First to the bear's secret palace in faraway mountains, where she is treated so courteously, though troubled by the bear's unfathomable sadness. As the bear's secret unravels, another journey unfolds, which takes her to the homes of the four winds and beyond, to the castle east of the sun, west of the moon.
