Charles Perrault's Classic Fairy Tale, Retold for Young Readers

A beautiful princess in disguise, a fairy godmother's magic, and a prince determined to find true love beneath an unlikely exterior — Gadhe Ki Poshteen brings Charles Perrault's beloved fairy tale "Donkeyskin" (Peau d'Âne) to Urdu-speaking children in a vividly illustrated, enchanting edition published by Caravan Book House.

Why This Fairy Tale Has Enchanted Readers for Generations
