How often has the great love story between a beautiful princess and her prince, enchanted in the form of a beast, been told! If only the princess had waited long enough, her husband, who must wander as a white bear by day, would have been freed. Now, driven by impatience, she must embark on a long and arduous journey to save him from a certain marriage to an evil troll woman. Dan Lindholm has retold the ancient tale in a Norwegian variant, while Angela Koconda has illustrated it in her unparalleled richness of colors.
