The Twelve Dancing Princesses by Ruth Sanderson
is our picture book of the day. I wanted to highlight a Twelve Dancing Princesses picture book today since I am also featuring a post on a new related novel, Entwined
by Heather Dixon. This is tied for first place with Kinuko Craft's version
as my favorite modern illustrated rendition. It is really impressive how popular this tale has become in the past decade. When I started SurLaLune most people weren't familiar with it. Now even I have a book for it, Twelve Dancing Princesses Tales From Around the World.
