Reviews / Votes
"A sumptuous, deeply romantic retelling in the Best Loved Classics series." BooksellerPraise for The Princess Who Had No Kingdom, illustrated by Sarah Gibb:
'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
