What a fun and thought-provoking narration by Kate Mulgrew! This children's tale is filled with rhymes and lyrical wordplay. "Would she have been Rose if her name had not been Rose?" Mulgrew repeatedly ponders aloud. She engages the listener in an enlightening story about a girl who goes on an adventure of self-discovery. Her depictions of the characters come alive through her inflections. She's both animated and eccentric in her intonations. Following the story is an afterword; in this straightforward description of Gertrude Stein's journey to creating this book, Mulgrew continues to captivate to the very end.

This 75th anniversary edition of Stein’s 1939 story of a girl named Rose returns to the original proportions, type and vivid pink paper and blue ink of the original, explains Thacher Hurd in a foreword; it also offers an essay from Edith Thacher Hurd, which first appeared in a 1986 edition and includes written exchanges between Stein and Clement Hurd. Thirty-four brief chapters written in Stein’s characteristically melodic, repetitive language follow the musings, travels, and eventual “happily ever after” of Rose and her cousin (or is he?) Willie. While Stein’s writing has always had its critics, this volume will be a treasure trove for admirers of her singular vision and Hurd’s always charming artwork.
