A beautiful picture-book fairytale from the global bestselling author of Coraline and The Graveyard Book

The lush strangeness of the tale and the beauty of its illustrations remain richly memorable. Guardian

In a hot, hot country, ringed with mountains on one side and jungle on the other, lives a princess called Cinnamon. Her eyes are made of pearls, which means that she is blind. And, for reasons her parents, the Rajah and Rani, cannot fathom, she will not talk.

So they offer a reward to anyone who can teach Cinnamon to speak. People travel from far and wide to attempt it, but nothing works. Until a mighty tiger, huge and fierce, prowls into their palace and announces that he is here to teach the girl-cub to talk ...

A mighty fable from Neil Gaiman, winner of the Newbery and Carnegie Medals, illustrated in vivid colour by up-and-coming talent Divya Srinivasan
