The Salt Princess Everlasting Tales

Everlasting Tales is a collection of multicultural fairy tales and folktales--honoring the stories passed down through oral tradition by refreshing and preserving them for new generations.

Princess Amal always danced to the beat of her own tabla.

Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Zammarud, there lived four princesses. The youngest, Princess Amal, always loved to stir up trouble--just for a little fun.

Until one day, her playful spirit led to a misunderstanding with her father, the king. In his embarrassment, he banished her from the kingdom.

But all was not lost for Amal. To reunite with her family, she'll just need to prove that life is best enjoyed with a sprinkle of seasoning. . . .

In the second of the Everlasting Tales collection, multicultural folktales passed down through oral tradition now refreshed for a modern audience, critically acclaimed and bestselling creator Anoosha Syed shares the Pakistani tale of the Salt Princess. Back matter includes an author's note and a condensed tale in Urdu for bilingual readers, the perfect gift for baby showers.
