The Princess and the Wizard

Meet a clever princess in this magical adventure with a cosy ending, from the brilliant Julia Donaldson and Lydia Monks, creators of What the Ladybird Heard.

With funny rhyming verse, bright and distinctive illustrations, The Princess and the Wizard is loved by children and parents alike – perfect for reading together!

The princess may try seven times to escape
By changing her colour and changing her shape.
