This book is in the following series:
'Winterson's traditionally rooted story is made original by the eloquence of her description and by Jane Ray's stunning and vibrant illustrations' Guardian 'Gorgeous and luminous. The fairytale ends with a wedding, as it should, but what delights is the exuberance of the narrative voice ... My children and I adored every page' Amanda Craig, The Times 'A poetic fable of a greedy king who magically changes places with a poor washerwoman, gorgeously illustrated in jewel-like colours' Daily Mail 'Jeanette Winterson's strong storyteller's voice, love of the fabulous and wry humour translate brilliantly to the genre of children's books...Winterson has perfectly understood the genre and has created, with the help of Jane Ray's magical and humorous illustrations, an instant classic' Financial Times
