1st Edition Thus. A story about a young, beautiful woman who was willing to marry the greedy and cruel king for her father's sake. On Blanzeflor's swedding day, King Hendrik clasped a string of pearls around her neck..."You must wear them always." he warned her. "The day I find you without them will be your last." Thus began Blanzeflor's queenly life. Her heart broke at the sight of the suffering throughout the kingdom. She saw her husband fill the prisons with starving people and watched him tax others into poverty. So despite the horrible warning, Queen Blanzeflor gave the pearls away, one by one, as everyone--from the poor old widow with six children to the bishop of the royal church--begged for her help. How Blanzeflor's generosity comes back to help her escape the king's wrath makes an unusual tale, filled with drama, romance, and true caring. Ilse Plume has filled her drawings with traditionsl Swedish motifs to create a beautiful and timeless treasure.
