_______________ ‘A magical modern retelling of an old fairytale … Exquisite’ – Jacqueline Wilson ‘These twelve fierce heroines will be a pleasure to return to again and again’ – Madeline Miller ‘A complete revelation’ – Thandie Newton ‘Wild, wise, generous, ferocious’ – Katherine Rundell _______________ A dazzling, feminist fairytale from the bestselling author of The Miniaturist and The House of Fortune. For Queen Laurelia’s twelve daughters, her death in a car accident is a catastrophe far beyond simply losing a mother. Unable to bear the thought of his daughters ever facing danger, their father King Alberto resolves to keep them safe at any cost – a cost that includes their lessons, their belongings, and above all, their freedom. But the eldest, Princess Frida, refuses to bow to his will without a fight, and she still holds one thing her father can’t take from her: the power of her imagination. Armed with little but wit and ingenuity, Frida and her sisters set out to fight for the right to truly live. _______________ An essential gift, this inspirational story about family, sisterhood, imagination and bravery is a modern classic to be handed down from mother to daughter for generations.
