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.

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