Does anyone remember a book called 'The Juniper Tree'??
It is a children's book that I read years ago and can't remember much else about it but really want to read it again!

GRIMM'S FAIRY TALES
THE JUNIPER TREE
by Jacob Ludwig Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm
THE JUNIPER TREE -
A LONG, long time ago, perhaps as much as two thousand years, there was a rich man, and he had a beautiful and pious wife, and they loved each other very much, and they had no children, though they wished greatly for some, and the wife prayed for one day and night. Now, in the courtyard in front of their house stood a juniper tree; and one day in winter the wife was standing beneath it, and paring an apple, and as she pared it she cut her finger, and the blood fell upon the snow.
"Ah," said the woman, sighing deeply, and looking down at the blood, "if only I could have a child as red as blood, and as white as snow!"

All I'm finding in my library's system is "Juniper Tree Burning: A Novel" by Goldberry Long (not a children's book), published in 2001
