An enchanting new fairy tale by the author of The White Dragon and The Dolphins of Pern!
When Meanne, a princess of the realm, runs away from her father's castle and an unwanted suitor, little does she realize the hardships and difficulties of starting life over that now lie ahead of her.
In an abandoned hut she finds a boy named Wisp, and together they set out to make their way in the world.
Yet both have secrets—hidden pasts that can tear them apart as well as bring them together!

McCaffrey was one of my favorites as a young teen, and I'm having some fun revisiting now. I don't think I read this as a kid, but it's the type of story I would have loved then: headstrong princess rejecting her rank, mysterious strangers. It's perhaps a bit simplistic by comparison to a lot of modern fantasy, but the fairy tale rings true and the illustrated pages are a nice touch.
