A Treasury of Princesses: Princess Tales from Around the World

Shirley Climo. HarperCollins, $16.95 (80pp) ISBN 978-0-06-024532-0

In A Treasury of Princesses: Princess Tales from Around the World, Shirley Climo introduces new princesses to those maxed-out on Cinderella, Jasmine and their ilk: enter Mpunzanyana, White Jade, Gulnara, Vasilisa and others. The tone is traditional, in both the stories and the intensely hued, realistic paintings by Ruth Sanderson.
