The Pulitzer Prize-winning author takes a classic fairy tale and turns it into a novel set along the eighteenth-century frontier of the Natchez Trace. In the clammy forests of Louisiana, somewhere between New Orleans and the muddy Mississippi River, the berry-stained bandit of the woods, Jamie Lockhart, saves the life of a gullible planter. In reward, Jamie is given shelter—only to kidnap the planter’s lovely young daughter, Rosamund. It’s an impulsive act that will have far-reaching consequences, and will set in motion a series of fantastic, murderous, and flamboyantly uncivilized romantic adventures. With legendary figures of Mississippi’s past—including notorious riverboatman Mike Fink and the thrill-killing Harp brothers—mingling side-by-side with characters from legendary fairy tales and the author’s own imagination, The Robber Bridegroom in an exuberant cocktail of fantasy, folklore and history along the treacherous Natchez Trace. The basis of the popular musical that has run both on and off Broadway, The Robber Bridegroom is “a modern fairy tale, where irony and humor, outright nonsense, deep wisdom and surrealistic extravaganzas becomes a poetic unity through the power of a pure exquisite style” (The New York Times). “As sly and irresistible as anything in Candide. For all her wild, rich fancy, Welty writes prose that is as disciplined as it is beautiful.” —The New Yorker

In a German county north of Hamburg rests a town named Sommerwood, where Ruby and Rosa Muller, two enchanted sisters, live. Engaged to be married, Ruby is a feisty teenage girl, while Rosa is more subdued and mature. One day, their mother becomes ill, and Rosa sends Ruby to fetch help. But instead of aid, Ruby stumbles on the doctor's murdered body, then encounters a strange man she's never seen before. Throughout the county, young women are vanishing, and the king is distraught. Appointed to investigate the mystery, Sir Jonas Martin promptly travels to Sommerwood, the geographical center of the disappearances. There, he meets Ruby and Rosa, who are both taken with him. But when Sir Jonas discovers that Ruby's fiancé is the man she saw outside the dead physician's house, suspicions arise. As Sir Jonas follows a lengthening trail of bodies and danger, romance and passion deepens between the two sisters and their suitors, even as the suspense and tension build, leading to a surprising twist and conclusion in this delightful, engrossing adaption of a lesser-known Brothers Grimm fairy tale.
