In a remote kingdom in India a long time ago, there lived a princess named Cinnamon, whose eyes were made of pearls and so she couldn’t see. She was also mute, but no one could work out why. One day, a tiger strolls into the palace and says he will teach her to speak. This is a beautifully written book, which is to be expected from Neil Gaiman, and the illustrations by Divya Srinivasan are beautiful. It reads like Indian mythology but this entirely original story, with green embossing on the cover and hardback format makes this a wonderful gift and the perfect addition to any library.
