written by Luis Amavisca & illustrated by Elena Rendeiro

Princess Li lived with her father, King Wan Tan, in a beautiful palace. Li was in love with Beatrice, a girl from a distant land. Both of them were very happy until the day Wan Tan sent for the princess: “The day had come when Li had to marry a young man from the court”.
