A princess, eleven brothers, a wicked step-mother and here we go.

The "Queen" banished the princess to a very far, poor pasture and changed her brothers to swans, when the princess turns fifteen, she runs aways and somehow manages to find her brothers.
The only way to break the spell is a difficult and needs a sacrifice that the princess is willing to make.
PS: read the story to know what it is all about ;)

Barefoot Books strikes again. I have yet to disappointed with something by these publishers.

The story is, of course, wonderful, and I enjoyed the beautiful artwork.

Me lo ricorderò sempre
stavamo andando in Spagna in macchina
era freddo e buio, quasi Natale
e mia madre mi comprò un libro di favole in autogrill
ed io lessi questa storia al lume dei lampioni dell'autostrada
e per i mesi a venire sognai piume e spine
