"Open Joan Gould's lovely book anywhere and you will find something recognizable, as relevant today as when you were a child. That's the magic of fairy tales. Be wise, be strong, and grab life like the heroes and heroines in SPINNING STRAW INTO GOLD." --Nancy Friday, author of My Mother, My Self and My Secret Garden
"SPINNING STRAW INTO GOLD belongs in the company of those few books that gives us what we recognize as true but haven't the ability to articulate for ourselves. Like the Queen's magic mirror in the story of Snow White, it shines and what it says is not only right but essential."-Kathryn Harrison, author of The Kiss and The Mother Knot
