Adaptations of eight stories include the well-known "Sleeping Beauty" and a few less familiar ones, such as "The Egg Prince" from Zimbabwe and "The Starlight Princess" from India. Downes painstakingly crafted dozens of small and large embroideries to accompany the text; the introduction describes how she created these distinctive illustrations. Brief source notes are provided.
