Three heroines braver, bolder and more resolute than your usual swooning princesses of traditional fairytales
Meet Urmila, who is so ugly that she makes people swoon, Kavita, who can take on giants more competently than any prince, and Sayoni, who has the power to tame even the wildest nightmare.
These three whimsical, feisty stories from master storyteller Manjula Padmanabhan, illustrated in her characteristically bold and quirky style, will delight readers of all ages
