When Prince Armandel journeys to a far-off land in order to woo the King's daughter,Princess Florelise,the match seems ill-fated,for the Princess does not return Armandel's love.
Indeed,in some mysterious way,she seems to be fading away before the very eyes of the Court.The Prince is in despair until a sign comes from a strange quarter,and he sets out on a quest - a dangerous quest to free Florelise from a fatal spell.But the end of the quest is not the end of the story for there is yet one more unexpected price to be paid before Armandel and Florelise can find the happiness they both so eagerly seek.
Sally Scott shows in her first book a remarkable talent for imaginative writing in the best tradition of classic storytelling,and an equally remarkable skill as an artist,illustrating her story with her own atmospheric drawings.At present (then 1981) she is pursuing her work as an artist even though she has had no formal art training.She is the daughter of the distinguished novelist Paul Scott.
