From award-winning author Kate Forsyth and illustrator Lorena Carrington comes a fifth magical collection of little-known fairy tales. In these seven tales, strange and marvellous transformations take place, some due to spells and ill-wishing, some arising from the deepest longings of the human heart. A princess makes a promise to a frog and helps to break a curse upon him. A neglected girl goes to the ball in all her rags and, with the help of a gooseherd and his enchanting music, wins the prince's heart. Disguised as a boy, a girl sets out to save a captive princess with the help of a talking horse.
