Summary
From the author of Henry the Tudor Dude, comes this inventive and highly individual presentation of the well-loved fairy-tale. The Palace is bustling and the hacks from the Daily Slur are hard at work. Will Miranda manage to spin straw into gold, or will she be flogged by the jealous Madam Inquisitor? Only her mysterious visitor can help, but at what cost? A humorous, tuneful excursion into a world of love, intrigue, deception and the magical mischief of the manikin with no name.
