Prepare to be dazzled once more by the overwhelming power of stories and see Love prevail in the face of Terrible Adversity!

Publisher Review

"A feminist fairy-tale, which I recommend if you're looking for a Christmas present for a teenage girl... A wondrously intricate book, and a witty attack on the patriarchy, this is an instant classic." -- Rachel Cooke * Observer, Book of the Year * "Greenburg has an extraordinary lightness of touch, piling humour and a wonderfully conversational tone into the narrative, which shines brightly and juxtaposes the darkness. Her illustration is similarly bustling with humour and character." * MYM Magazine *
