Product Description

Review

'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


Product Description

This warm and humorous collection includes much-loved favourites such as 'The Princess and the Pea' from Denmark and less familiar figures, among them 'The Mountain Princess' from Persia and 'The Horned Snake's Wife' from the Iroquois of North America. Caitlin Matthews' wonderfully dramatic retellings are perfect for reading aloud, while Olwyn Whelan's bright and witty illustrations are a feast in themselves.

5.0 out of 5 stars beautiful illustrations, 28 Jul 2005
I love the global view of barefoot books, and that this book will appeal to the girly girl, but still have positive female imagery from diverse cultures - ticks so many boxes for me. the stories are beautiful, and well illustrated. Having the CD is a bonus.
