Book Reviews of The Robber Bridegroom
Book Review: I couldn't put it down- finished it in a day!
Summary: 5 Stars
The story was very intriging. I had to read it for a class, and I'm glad because I had never heard of it or its author before. I'm very happy with my new- found writer that will be up there on my top ten list! I'd also like to add that I had to do a paper on the book and found it to be able to be compared with Cinderella and Snow White- and even a little bit of Beauty and the Beast!
Summary of The Robber Bridegroom
Legendary figures of Mississippi?s past-flatboatman Mike Fink and the dreaded Harp brothers-mingle with characters from Eudora Welty?s own imagination in an exuberant fantasy set along the Natchez Trace. Berry-stained bandit of the woods Jamie Lockhart steals Rosamond, the beautiful daughter of pioneer planter Clement Musgrove, to set in motion this frontier fairy tale. ?For all her wild, rich fancy, Welty writes prose that is as disciplined as it is beautiful? (New Yorker).
