Thirteen tales are unspun from the deeply familiar, and woven anew into a collection of fairy tales that wind back through time. Acclaimed Irish author Emma Donoghue reveals heroines young and old in unexpected alliances--sometimes treacherous, sometimes erotic, but always courageous. Told with luminous voices that shimmer with sensuality and truth, these age-old characters shed their antiquated cloaks to travel a seductive new landscape, radiantly transformed.Cinderella forsakes the handsome prince and runs off with the fairy godmother; Beauty discovers the Beast behind the mask is not so very different from the face she sees in the mirror; Snow White is awakened from slumber by the bittersweet fruit of an unnamed desire. Acclaimed writer Emma Donoghue spins new tales out of old in a magical web of thirteen interconnected stories about power and transformation and choosing one's own path in the world. In these fairy tales, women young and old tell their own stories of love and hate, honor and revenge, passion and deception. Using the intricate patterns and oral rhythms of traditional fairy tales, Emma Donoghue wraps age-old characters in a dazzling new skin.

Watch is nice but band is tricky to close properly
Color: Gold Black
I just received the watch and could not figure out how to lock the band correctly. I was at the watch repair store today and the lady there showed me how to close it properly so the band doesn’t come unhooked.

It's hand wind watch
Color: Silver Black, Color: Silver Black
Last time I had hand wound watch was thirty years ago, so I was very happy to find this watch. Very stylish, has scratch resistant glass and is stainless steel. Completely not waterproof. Got rained on one day for the very short distance and the watch got fog into in. It took whole day and desiccate packages to get the steam out of the dial. Thirty clockwise winds keep the watch ticking for about seventeen hours. It is also somewhat hard to wind. The quality inspection on the band is pretty low. When arrived, clasp was loose in closing. I needed to take pliers and move the closing latch hook more up to securely close clasp. Now its perfect. Video shows how to adjust length of the clasp. Very easy with provided screwdriver. Just stick screwdriver into the hole and move back to open clasp and forward to close. Don't try to close it with the fingers. It is really hard to do it that way. If I wind it before bed and in the morning, it never stops and keeps time good. The size of the dial is perfect; but the height is very thick. Takes some time to get used to. Over all it is a very pretty watch and decent for the price tag.
