The Girl with a Donkey Tail

Once upon a time, a little girl lived in a cave deep in a forest with three bears. Her name was Cloralinda, and she had a tail like a donkey. Otherwise she was pretty but ordinary.

She was also brave. And when she found a small gold ring with the message Take me to the princess engraved on it, she knew what she had to do. She kissed the bears good-bye, slipped the ring on her finger for safekeeping, and set off to find the princess.

But that turned out to be more difficult than she could have imagined. Help came in mysterious ways. So did trickery. And Cloralinda needed all her good sense and courage to deal with the obstacles she met.

Anne Rockwell tells the twists and turns of her quest in a way to delight anyone who enjoys a good new tale.
