The Enchanted Book: A Tale from Krakow

A Polish fairy tale published for the first time in English, this splendid picture book is the romantic, magical story of a miller’s daughter who outwits an evil enchanter.

A miller’s three beautiful daughters (the eldest, vain; the middle, flighty; the youngest, industrious and good-hearted) are enticed by a wicked magician to his underground kingdom with the help of a golden apple. The youngest daughter saves her sisters, who have been turned into birds, and other ensorcelled maidens because she alone can read the spell in the enchanted book that will release them. Full-color illustrations.
