"One night, Franca has a dream about a marvelous queen who lives in a dark cave, deep in the forest...So with her younger sisters, Carmela and Tomasina, Franca ventures into the forest at the end of their garden. As they travel deeper through nettles andthickets, drawing closer and closer to the cave, the world shifts...they meet beasts and creatures that shock and delight them, and they escape horrible things that frighten them. They learn to be brave, to be bold, to face their darkest fears"-- Provided by publisher.
