A far more conventional retelling of this tale than her later version [b:Rose Daughter|8089|Rose Daughter|Robin McKinley|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1308815827s/8089.jpg|2321287] but I do prefer it. More horses, less roses which is more to my taste.

200 year old kidnapper manages to convince victim (through black mail) to love him. Why was it not mentioned as to why he was cursed? What did he do?!!??
