The Golden Cage - The True Story of the Blood Princess - Album

Valentina, the emperor's daughter, is an obsessive collector of exotic birds. Her servants track down all kinds of fascinating species. But Valentina sets her heart on a particularly amazing one : a bird that can talk. Servants search far and wide to fulfil her impossible quest — and she beheads those who tail. In Valentina's palace, heads roll every day ! Will the golden cage ever be filled ? A deliciously dark European fairy tale with words as rich as its bold and luxurious illustrations, by one of Flanders' most celebrated illustrators.
