Romance blossoms and adventures ensue when Friday Woodcutter falls in love with a young man who, along with his six brothers, takes the shape of a swan by day. Kontis's enticingly tangled revisions of classic tales continue is this third volume about the magical Woodcutter family (Enchanted; Hero). Limited backstory and Kontis's inventively anarchic style will challenge uninitiated readers but gratify established fans.
