What this book is about
Serilda is a miller's daughter who spins impossible tales — until the night she claims she can spin straw into gold and the dark Erlking holds her to it. Her only help comes from a mysterious boy who may be the legendary Rumpelstiltskin. Meyer's YA fairy tale retelling is atmospheric and romantic.
