Su questo libro

Recensione:

'Beautifully told and presented.' --The Sunday Times

'A sudden spate of books about princesses, but this is one of the best of them. The unusual and ethnic illustrations beautifully reflect the text which shows in stories from around the world how the lives of princesses are not always charmed and that they too may not easily find happiness.' --Kids Out

'Full of swashbuckling adventures and fantastic tales.' --The Guardian
