Bookroo's summary

In a world where colors dance and stories unfold with grace, a tale emerges that captivates both young and old. What secrets lie within the richly painted pages?

"There sat the poor miller's daughter, without the slightest idea how anyone could spin straw into gold. For the life of her she did not know what to do. She grew more and more frightened, and then she began to weep. Suddenly the door sprang open and a tiny man stepped in."
