Illustrated by Stefan Czernecki. A wonderfully rich retelling of Russian folklore by America's Hans Christian Anderson', this is a tale of a kind and honest young prince whose father unwittingly promises him to the Sea King in exchange for a favour. Along the way, the king and his son encounter a talking eagle with magical tricks, a frightening witch with iron teeth, and twelve beautiful maidens who turn into swans, and the prince will have to prove his worth to find happiness under the sea. A dramatic and stunningly illustrated tale, in full-colour. Ages 4-8.'
