Every morning, twelve princesses awaken with their satin slippers worn to shreds—though their door is triple-bolted. When the Duke proclaims that anyone who solves the mystery may choose a bride, a dreamy orphaned cowherd named Michael, nicknamed the Star Gazer, dares to try. Guided by a lady in gold and two magical laurels, Michael slips into a hidden world: moonlit forests shimmering with silver, gold, and diamonds; silent boats skimming a black lake; and an enchanted castle where bewitched princes dance till dawn. Armed with wit, courage, and a flower that grants invisibility, he gathers proof, resists a perilous philtre, and risks everything for the youngest princess, Lina. Narrated with warmth and wonder by Mike Polischuk, this classic Andrew Lang fairy tale blends romance, mystery, and adventure into a luminous journey from hayfields to ballroom, from secret stairways to true love. Perfect for family listening and fairy-tale fans of all ages, Twelve Dancing Princesses is a sparkling escape into courage rewarded, enchantments broken, and dreams fulfilled.
