The beginning of this collection features a beautifully crafted introduction, hinting at the fond memories of storytelling that inspired the author. It sets the scene for the first tale, "The Princess Eglantine," where a young princess, enchanted by her jealous brother, is confined to an ivory tower. Meanwhile, a prince determined to save her learns of her plight and embarks on a quest filled with magical encounters, including a fairy who grants him invisibility powder.
