<p> The year is 1502, and seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives perched high above the rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany and Umbria at Montefiore, the farm of her beloved father, Don Vicente. One day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm&#151;and the world comes to Montefiore. In the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia&#151;decadent children of a wicked pope&#151;no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vicente on a year's quest to reclaim a relic of the original Tree of Knowledge, he leaves Bianca under the care, so to speak, of Lucrezia. She plots a dire fate for the young girl in the woods below the farm, but in the dark forest there can be found salvation as well. . . . </p> <p> A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, <i>Mirror Mirror</i> gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White&#151;and has a truth and beauty all its own. </p>
