An enchanting fantasy classic by the author of The King of the Copper Mountains

Dorr was once a city of merriment, music and dancing. Now it lies grey and silent under the spell of the witch Sirdis. When a young princess arrives on a secret quest, she finds a town full of mystery, magic and danger. As she meets with a series of fantastical characters, Dorr's real history and the true nature of her quest are revealed through the stories they tell each other. Can the princess find the Gardens of Dorr and free the city from its evil enchantment?

By turns beautiful, thrilling, frightening and comical, The Gardens of Dorr is a richly detailed, unforgettable fantasy adventure, the crowning achievement of one of Europe's most beloved children's writers.

Paul Biegel was one of Europe's most acclaimed and best-loved storytellers, and the author of more than fifty books for children. Born in the Netherlands in 1925, he studied law but worked as a comic-strip writer before writing his first novel, The Golden Guitar, in 1960. He wrote at a rate of almost a book year for nearly forty years, producing timeless fantastical tales of dwarves, princesses, witches, robbers and talking animals. The King of the Copper Mountains and The Little Captain are also available from Pushkin Children's Books.
