Inhaltsangabe

What happens when a favorite fairy tale gets dropped in the middle of Europe in World War 2? Take Red Riding Hood . . . 1939, southern Poland, foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, where things had always been a bit magical: When Felka finished university, she landed the position as Junior Assistant Curator of the museum in her hometown. She knows the museum very well, and soon realizes that valuable items are being pilfered. She isn't sure what to do, but thinks she's being framed. Felka suspects the culprit, but needs proof. Then the world changed: The Germans invade their country, and so do the Soviets. Poland's military falters and the government flees into exile. Many young men disappear into the forests then, fading away to fight any way they can. Her mother's family are forest people. They know the legends of beasts and ghosts and witches within . . . and that some of the stories are true. As for the museum, the Curator is Jewish and had to flee as well. Now the Germans have started hauling away the museum’s treasures. Felka is sure they will be asking about the missing items on the inventory. She knows what she has to do, but will she have the courage? "A thief who steals from a thief is not a thief." ~ German Proverb
