Written by Vivian French, Illustrated by Angela Barrett
This book reminds us that the world is full of wonderful things, but the most precious is family. Angela Barrett’s luscious illustrations enhance French’s story of love. A King and Queen attempt to find the perfect husband for their daughter by declaring that the man who brings the most wonderful thing in the world to them will marry their daughter. Many amazing things are brought to them, but none is quite right…until the end of the book. Sweet story; beautiful book.
