The Secret of the Tattered Shoes by Jackie Morris, illus. Ehsan Abdollahi Age 7-9

Based on The Twelve Dancing Princesses by the Brothers Grimm this version is part of publisher Tiny Owl’s ‘One story, Many Voices’ series. It is an exquisite book, beautifully written and with magical illustrations. It provides an optimistic, alternative ending to the story, with the soldier who solves the mystery of the princesses’ tattered shoes rejecting the harshness of the King and his court in favour of love and wisdom elsewhere.
