When Elizabeth Rew is suggested for an internship at the New York Circulating Material Repository she is intrigued. Instead of books, the library lends objects: a tea set, carpentry tools, children's toys. The items lent from the library range from simple, everyday objects to rare or complex tools and antiquities.
Deep in the warren-like basement Elizabeth discovers the Collections. Her first glimpse that the library is more than it seems is the disappearance of an entry in the Grimm Legacy, items straight out of the fairy tales.
But along with the mystical seven-league boots, neverending feast, and Little Red Riding Hood's cloak are more sinister magical items--and items which allow someone sinister action. Magical items begin to disappear.
Elizabeth and her new friends at the Repository decide to embark on a quest worthy of the Grimm Brothers to find the mysterious thief before they are blamed for the crime. And before they're the ones disappearing.
Hidden behind the simple facade of an old victorian home, the New York Circulating Material Repository houses magic. Elizabeth is an ordinary girl hoping to live an ordinary life, until the extraordinary plucks her into a world swirling with action and adventure. Readers of all ages will enjoy the effects of fantastic items from some of the best-known fairy tales in western culture.
