From the magic of the Sleeping Princess, woken from her hundred-year sleep with a kiss, to the mystery of the Twelve Dancing Princesses, these are stories full of adventure and enchantment. Saviour Pirotta's lively retellings of these classic fairy tales are perfectly complemented by Emma Chichester Clark's rich, glowing illustrations, making this book a joy to share and a gift to treasure.
