I don't read many (or really any) children's books these days, but the #litsyatxreaderssociety February theme is fairytale retellings, and The Google led me to Genevieve Valentine's The Girls at the Kingfisher Club, a retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, a story I had never even heard of. This book isn't anything revolutionary, but it's a nice little fairytale with really lovely illustrations, and I enjoyed it. 💃

Soubhiville I want to go to that party! How pretty. 5y

Eyelit There‘s a retelling of the 12 dancing princess in this graphic novel (which itself is a slight retelling of 1001 nights)

4⭐️ This book has the most beautiful illustrations. And the story is very compelling. Each night the 12 princesses dance through their dancing shoes and the kingdom wonders why. But only a lowly farm boy can find out the truth. This is one of the best versions of this story available.

The Twelve Dancing Princesses | Marianna Mayer

Found this while clearing out my cookbook shelf. I LOVED this book when I was fetus Claire, you guys. This is still the most beautifully illustrated book I've ever read to this day. (and what a great story, ofc)

Johanna414 We had a copy of The Twelve Dancing princesses at our public library when I was little that had the most beautiful illustrations and all the princesses were of different ethnicities. I loved it so much and checked it out over and over again. My mom and I have looked but haven‘t ever been able to find a copy of it 7y
