![]() ![]() It's short and easy to read in one sitting. I've enjoyed most of the books in this series and The Crimson Thread was another enjoyable read. This one happens to be a retelling of Rumpelstiltskin. The Crimson Thread is part of the "Once Upon a Time" series, books that retell classic fairy tales in a new way. First, Ray buys her some crimson thread that she coveted then, he rushes her little sister to a doctor and pays for the medicine lastly, he helps Bridget sew a dress one night when her father rashly promises her employer that she can "practically spin straw into gold." As much as Bridget needs help, she wonders what type of payment Ray will want in return. Bridget finds herself relying more and more on a mysterious man named Ray. Bridget rechristens herself "Bertie" so that she seems more American and acquires a job as a seamstress for one of the richest families in New York. ![]() Bridget and her family move from Ireland to America in search of a better life. ![]()
