Walsh. When the King of the Elves hosts a feast for the Goblin King of Norway, seven daughters each reveal their unique talents—only for the visiting princes to drift off to sleep, leaving the outcome uncertain. The cover, also by Walsh, captures the story’s enchanting mood with its delicate, hand-drawn style.
