Publisher's Synopsis
The king is puzzled. Every morning his twelve beautiful daughters look tired and pale, and their silk shoes are in tatters. What have they been doing?
The king promises that the man who can solve the mystery will marry one of his daughters - and rule the kingdom. But the princesses are as clever as they are beautiful - will anyone succeed?
Wonderful illustrations and special gold printing bring a vivid richness and exuberance to this well-loved story.
