This is a modern retelling of the Grimms’ fairytale "The twelve dancing princesses" where a young soldier, recently returned from war, rescues the princesses from an evil curse which compels them to dance each night until their slippers are worn through. Our hero Galen has a secret weapon not found in the original...he knits! This is a well-paced story, with a satisfying fairytale ending, that would particularly appeal to teenage girls.
