Description: The Story Even a glance at the witty and fantastic pictures will bring a smile to readers of this classic Grimm's fairy tale, now in a new version by Australian fine artist Gordon Fitchett. As the twelve princesses primp and compete, and drag themselves home tired but happy in the morning, they can't keep their nightly raging a secret for long. The Twelve Princesses is a lot of fun and a wonderful gift for young readers who watch everyone else at home getting ready to go off and party, but know more than they're saying. The Artist Gordon Fitchett's paintings have been exhibited in Australia and the USA and are represented in private collections around the world, and his illustrations have appeared in newspapers and magazines including The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, Vogue and Mode. Gordon lives in an inner suburb of Sydney and escapes to the bush whenever he can.
