"internationally acclaimed illustrator Jane Ray brings to vivid life the fun-loving princesses of the classic Grimm fairly tale, as they boldly escape the confines of their father's castle. Each one is a character in her own right, ... enjoying their moments of freedom as well as their beautiful brocade ballgrounds." A happy retelling of this tale.
