This is a story from the The Happy Prince and Other Stories collection.

Bryony and her sisters have come down in the world. Their merchant father died trying to reclaim his fortune and left them to eke out a living in a village far from their home in the city. But when Bryony is caught in a snowstorm and takes refuge in an abandoned manor, she stumbles into a house full of dark enchantments. Is the Beast that lives there her captor or a fellow prisoner? Is the house her enemy or her ally? And why are roses blooming out of season in the courtyard?

À l’écoute, chaque phrase se déploie comme une incantation, laissant filtrer l’inquiétude, la grâce et un sourire en coin.

Elena Fairchild is a teacher at one of the state’s new elite schools. Her daughters are exactly like her: beautiful, ambitious and perfect.

Questo breve ma intenso racconto, o meglio, questa splendida favola, che ci giunge dall'immaginario di Saul Ferrara, affronta il rapporto tra "essenza" e "personalità", tra il nostro vero essere e ciò in cui gli altri e i vari condizionamenti cercano di trasformarci. Per far prevalere l'essenza bisogna affrontare e vincere la paura creata dall'illusorietà. Un giovane corvo, eroe inconsapevole, riesce in questa difficile missione seguendo i consigli della vecchia quercia, che rappresenta la Tradizione, e quest'ultima non è un lontano passato.
