The Golden Cage

Shortlisted for the 2020 English Picture Book Awards

Valentina the emperor’s daughter is an obsessive collector of exotic birds. Her servants track down every bird she desires - just one remains unfound: a bird that talks. Servants search far and wide to fulfill her impossible quest - and she beheads those who fail. In Valentina’s palace, heads roll every day! Will the golden cage ever be filled? 

A deliciously dark European fairy tale with words as rich as its bold and luxurious illustrations.
