Description
A beautifully illustrated, magical retelling of one of the most beloved children's fairy tales.
Once upon a time, there was a girl called Rapunzel, a prisoner in the tallest tower who had nothing to do but grow and grow and grow her hair. All she knows are the four walls around her, the witch who has imprisoned her, and the creatures of the forest who visit her and show her kindness.
Add to the story one very determined prince and a hair-raising escape...but how will it all end?
Based on the original story by the Brothers Grimm, this exquisite retelling of the classic fairy tale will delight a new generation of readers.

Reviews / Votes
Praise for Sleeping Beauty:"The elegant illustrations...make it an edition worth owning" Irish Times
Praise for The Princess Who Had No Kingdom:
"If you're going to enter the rococo Neverland of poor-but-deserving princesses searching for Mr Right among assorted prince Wrongs, you might as well do it with the skill and aplomb of Ursula Jones and Sarah Gibb" Financial Times
"An old-fashioned, romantic fairy tale with Crabtree and Evelyn decorative elegance, detailed silhouettes, and bronze gilding. Such outstanding prettiness with substance is rare, but this will win any girlie heart" Sunday Times
