In her debut as author-illustrator, Júlia Sardà spins an enthralling and evocative tale, rich with layers of meaning to be discovered.
In Júlia Sardà\'s irresistible, mysterious modern fairy tale, each spread is a stunning and wildly imaginative set piece brought to life in sumptuous color and detail.. . .
And what of the queen? Well, what they find in the Cave is perhaps the most unexpected thing of all .
They learn to be brave, to be bold, to face their darkest fears.
Here, they meet beasts and creatures that shock and delight them, and they escape horrible things that frighten them.
As they travel deeper through nettles and thickets, drawing closer and closer to the cave, the world shifts, and everything shrinks and expands at the same time.
So with her younger sisters, Carmela and Tomasina, Franca ventures into the forest at the end of their garden.
She cannot sit still until she knows if her dream is true.
One night, Franca has a dream about a marvelous Queen who lives in a dark cave, deep in the forest.
