Show Notes

This is one of those books I never would have read except that my children asked me. And then the story turned out to profoundly rival many that I have read in “higher” literature like Plutarch’s Lives.

The main character begins at a great height in life, falls miserably low, and rises again through miraculous providence. She keeps her “princess” dignity throughout, strengthened by imagination and stories.

All ages should read. The hardcover edition illustrated by Tasha Tudor is the best.
