Illustrated by
Friso Henstra.
In this original fairy tale, the clever princess Bedelia rescues not only herself from an evil suitor but also--in a reversal of "Rapunzel"--a handsome prince. And before that, Bedelia vanquished a dragon with just her wits ("Dragons are not very bright"). A lively and matter-of-factly feminist text is accompanied by quirky crosshatched illustrations full of patterns and motion. A very welcome reissue.
