Synopsis (taken
from back cover)
All children enjoy the tale of the twelve princesses whose shoes
were inexplicably worn out every morning and the poor soldier
who solves the mystery. The story is retold here in a spirited
new version and Errol Le Cain's illustrations are splindidly
romantic and evocative, while they also so full justice to the
comic aspects of the story.
