Slight spoilers
Princess of The Silver Woods is my favorite of the three
books in this trilogy. It focuses on the
youngest daughter of the twelve dancing princess Petunia. The tagline on the cover was Twelve dancing princess meets Red riding Hood. But to me it had a bit
or Robin Hood in the story as well.
I read this book when I was a fairy tale retelling kick and I am
glad I did. I enjoyed it. It's was easy
to see how each fairy tale played a part in the book. The Twelve dancing princess because Petunia is the youngest of
twelve daughters. Red riding hood
because of the clock she wears and Robin
Hood because Oliver is the son of a Lord without a kingdom who robs from
rich travelers on the road.
Princess of the Silver Woods is a must read retelling for
anyone who likes The Twelve Dancing Princesses, Red Riding Hood, and Robin Hood. As well as fairy tale
retelling in general.
