Personal Review: The Barefoot Book Of Princesses PB w CD
(Barefoot Books) by Caitlin Matthews
The Barefoot Book of Princesses retold by Richard Walker, Illustrated by
Olwyn Whelan
This lovely quality paperback book in large format comes with a delightful
story CD with world music. The selections of traditional favorite fairy tales

includes one from many countries, and the end blurbs tell a little about
each tale's origin. The Princess and the Pea, a world favorite, is presented
as a Danish tale; The Mountain Princess is from Persia; The princess who
Lost her Hair is from Akamba; The Birdcage Husband is a Kalmuck tale;
The Beggar princess is Chinese; The Horned Snake's Wife is Iroquois; and
The Sleeping Beauty is German. The illustrations, by the well-known
Scottish illustrator, are delightfully bright spirited, modern, and whimsical.
