Description
In this beautifully illustrated retelling, a young girl's love and bravery are put to the test as she embarks on a perilous quest to save her brothers from their swan forms.
The task is complicated: she must knit shirts for each of the eleven brothers using nettles gathered with her bare hands. And yet, she cannot speak, lest it harm the swan-boys even further. So she knits in silence, and where there is silence, people will put words.
