Fantasy author (and literary agent) Rena Rossner talks about her debut novel, Sisters of the Winter Wood, where the inspiration for it came from, and her desire to explore the Jewish folklore that's integral to her heritage.

Rena talks how her research through the oral histories and the history of a town's act of resistance in 1903, and other stories around Russian, Ukrainian and Moldavian folklore, combined with "Goblin Market", a poem by Christina Rosetti. In fact, half the novel is written in a sort of poetic verse, from the point of view of one of the sisters.
