Bookroo's summary

Dive into a world where myths come alive. Meet a resilient Alice in Wonderland, witness a mother's ghostly return, and a bridge yearning for a troll. Can Peter Pan's troops survive a mutiny? Discover the extraordinary in the everyday.

From the publisher

In these twelve modern myths and tales for the young and the young at heart, Jane Yolen transforms the impossible into the familiar and real. Among the outlandish wonders are an Alice grown tough in Wonderland, a dear–but dead–mother’s homecoming, a bridge that longs for a goat-eating troll, and a mutiny among Peter Pan’s troops.
