昔々、魔法が一般的でお姫様がたくさんいた頃、ドルースという名の魔法使いがいました。
彼は指先ひとつで王子をヒキガエルに、羊飼いの少年を羊に変身させることができました。
けれども王女を魔法で魅了することはできませんでした……。

壮大な世界で繰り広げられる物語を、ドールで描いた写真絵本です。

『ロンリードール』シリーズを見ても思ったのですが、人形やぬいぐるみに命を吹き込む表現力とストーリーに、驚くばかりです。

Once upon a time, when magic was common and princesses were many, there lived a powerful wizard named Druth. He could transform a prince into a toad, or a shepherd boy into a sheep by a mere flick of his finger. But no matter how hard he tried he could not enchant a princess by any magic at all. Enraged and humiliated, Druth took revenge upon three kingdoms whose princesses he was unable to enchant. He flooded their lands and imprisoned the people in a deep, unending sleep. He saved one princess alone, however. She was a baby named Lona whom Druth planned to raise himself until she was old enough to enchant. Some new spell, he was certain, would eventually succeed. But when she grew up, Lona showed surprising courage, challenging the mighty wizard's power. Through Dare Wright's rich descriptions and superb photographs, readers will breathlessly follow each moment of Lona's remarkable struggle to remove Druth's spell over the three kingdoms.
