From the author of "Doomed Queens" comes a exploration of more than 30 stories of true princesses that go beyond the glitz and glamour to reveal what life was really like for young royals throughout history. Illustrations.
Kris Waldherr is the award-winning author and illustrator of Doomed Queens: Royal Women Who Met Bad Ends (Broadway/Doubleday), The Book of Goddesses (Abrams Books), and several other books for adults and children. The New Yorker called Doomed Queens "utterly satisfying," while the New York Times Book Review praised her picture book Persephone and the Pomegranate for its "quality of myth and magic." She lives in a ghost-ridden Victorian house in Brooklyn with her husband and tween-age daughter, who no longer likes princesses. Learn more at KrisWaldherr.com.
