Illustrated by
Valeria Docampo.
Princess Amanita delights in dangerous things, so the thorny stems of Prince Florian's roses win her over. She requests rose seeds from his gardener, but noses grow instead. On her perilous journey to return the noses, Amanita realizes that friendship might be as desirable as danger. The story is overly strange, but Docampo's art, with its razor-sharp lines and vivid colors, is eye-catching.
