Summary
No one knows exactly how the Goblin War began, but folks will tell you that goblins are stinking, slinking, filthy, sheep-stealing, henhouse-raiding, obnoxious, rude, and violent. Goblins would actually agree with all this, and might throw in “cowardly” and “lazy” too for good measure.
But goblins don’t go around killing people for fun, no matter what the propaganda posters say. And when a confrontation with an evil wizard lands a troop of nine goblins deep behind enemy lines, goblin …

Critics Review
PRAISE FOR THORNHEDGE:
I opened, I devoured. Absolutely delightful and full of charm and truth.
– Naomi Novik, New York Times-bestselling author of A Deadly Education
Toadling will break your heart and mend it at the same time, and that is how you know that Thornhedge is a story by T. Kingfisher. I loved this book so much.
– Travis Baldree, New York Times-bestselling author of Legends & Lattes
Immensely charming, unexpected, full of heart, I was utterly delighted by this incredibly original retelling of Sleeping Beauty.
– Katherine Arden, bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingale
Kingfisher never fails to dazzle.
– Peter S. Beagle, Hugo, Nebula, and Locus Award-winning author of The Last Unicorn
Haunting and unusual a unique retelling of a classic tale.
-Tamora Pierce, New York Times-bestselling author of the Tortall series
The way Thornhedge turns all the fairy tales inside out is a sharp-edged delight.
– Katherine Addison, author of The Goblin Emperor
At every turn, Kingfisher subverts familiar fairytale tropes into a fresh, complex, and extremely human story about loneliness, and the protective barriers we put around ourselves.
– Sunyi Dean, author of The Book Eaters
Kingfisher weaves elements of fairy tale, folklore, and history in this beautifully crafted story of loss, endurance, terror, and kindness. Thornhedge is sheer magic from beginning to end.
-Juliet Marillier, author of the Blackthorn & Grim and Warrior Bards series
A masterclass in the art of retelling a story you thought you knew.
– The Fantasy Hive
This marvelously fractured fairy tale takes a well-known and well-loved story and turns it completely around… . Highly recommended for anyone who loves to see fables fractured into new and different shapes, similar to Alix E. Harrow’s A Spindle Splintered.
– Library Journal, STARRED review
Kingfisher’s trademark wit and compassion transforms Sleeping Beauty into a moving meditation on guilt, grief, and duty, as well as a surprisingly sweet romance between outsiders. There are no false notes here.
– Publishers Weekly STARRED review
T. Kingfisher
T. Kingfisher is the vaguely absurd pen name author Ursula Vernon uses when writing for adults. In another life, she writes children’s books and weird comics. As Kingfisher, she has won the Hugo, Nebula, Locus and Dragon Awards, including the Hugo for Best Novel for her book Nettle & Bone. When she is not writing, she is probably out in the garden, trying to make eye contact with butterflies.
