Publisher's Synopsis
Illustrated by Iassen Ghiuselev. This is the timeless folktale of a young prince who undoes a terrible spell by accomplishing three impossible tasks - with the help of some small creatures he saved from cruelty. Iassen Ghiuselev's masterful illustrations carry a bearing and weight in sharp contrast to the pastel-pretty designs of other illustrated fairy tales. Here, the rich tapestry colours and lavish attention to detail create an atmospheric mystery and enrich the story with a magic all their own. Ages 6-11.
