The Princess’ Blankets
Catherine Hyde
A princess cannot get warm, no matter what is done for her. A stranger with cold eyes brings her the earth’s blanket, the forest’s blanket, the ocean’s blanket and more, but nothing can warm the cold princess. Then, one day, a musician wanders into the land, and her heart melts with warmth and love.
