The Thistle Princess

34 pp. | Candlewick | October, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-7636-0307-4 $$16.99
(3) 1-3 Illustrated by Elizabeth Harbour. In this original tale a thistle in the garden turns into a baby for a sad and childless king and queen. The king and queen love the princess so much that they refuse to let her have friends in case she should be hurt. Only when she floats away like thistledown do they realize their error, and welcome all children into their garden. The pale, delicate, stylized pictures match the quiet mood of the story.
Reviewer: Ann A. Flowers
