ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Is romantic love just a tale?

It’s better to be loved less but to be loved well.
 
Princess Namora is eager to find her prince and live happily ever after. That's what always happens in fairy tales. And that's why she doesn't hesitate to move into her gallant knight, Excess’, kingdom. However, once there, Namora discovers that things are not as they had been told to her. Can love conquer all, or is that just a tale?
 
A picture book full of humor to reflect on the clichés of romantic love.
Anna Rayo se crio en una familia de artistas. El amor por las historias le viene de pequeña, cuando escuchaba los cuentos de su abuela. Es una amante de los clásicos, a los que encanta dar un giro de tuerca.
