About This Book

A mistreated young person leaves home after hearing a royal proclamation promising marriage to a princess and half the realm to whoever finds the lost queen, and sets out to shape their destiny. The action mixes household cruelty and comic threats with encounters with fortune-tellers, roaming musicians and forest spirits who offer aid or hindrance. Enchanted sequences with blue maidens and mythical beings punctuate trials and bargains, including a daunting task tied to a crown, as the protagonist pursues love, recognition and social transformation through a blend of fairy-tale motifs and folkloric spectacle.
