The Runaway Princess by Rosie Dickins is a beautifully retold children’s fairytale from the Usborne Reading Programme. Illustrated by Elodie Coudray, it is specially written for young readers who are beginning to read with more confidence.

Princess Anna does not want to get married, so she runs away wearing a donkeyskin cloak and carrying three beautiful gowns. She finds work herding geese, but when she secretly tries on one of her gowns, a prince sees her and falls in love.

Based on the classic French fairytale Donkeyskin by Charles Perrault, this story has echoes of Cinderella while offering its own gentle adventure about courage, disguise, freedom, and finding a happy ending.
