This retelling of the classic fairy tale will appeal to children because of its mystery, suspense, and romance, and to adults because of its exploration of the duality in human nature.

1949年12月1日,出生于美国麻萨诸塞州。六岁就立志成为绘作家的Jan Brett,坚定的朝理想迈进,1970年于Boston Museum of Fine Arts就读。个性害羞所以常藉由绘图来表达自己,喜爱动物、大自然、旅行和古老传说故事的她也将这些元素入画。慢工出细活的Jan Brett,花费许多时间在小细节的润饰上,所以维持一年出版一本书的原则。每幅绘图添上“故事细节边框”是Jan Brett作品的特色,她称这是“overflow of thoughts / 溢出来的想法”。
