Synopsis

A magical, beautifully illustrated fairy tale for ages 5–10, Plumelet blends adventure and heart as a spoiled princess learns the value of kindness and friendship.

A beautifully illustrated fairy tale about kindness, transformation, and adventure.

Plumelet is a captivating fairy tale for children aged 5-10, written and illustrated by the author.

This enchanting story follows Plumelet, a spoiled young princess who takes her privileged life for granted, treating those around her with disdain. One day, she insults a mysterious old woman at the palace gates—unaware that she is actually a powerful witch named Gargoyle. As punishment, Gargoyle casts a spell that makes Plumelet weightless, and her servant, Cold Wind, carries the frightened princess far from home.

Swept into a world of magic and adventure, Plumelet finds herself trapped in an enchanted castle—a labyrinth of salt and pepper—where she must navigate unexpected challenges and encounter both kind and mischievous magical beings. Through these trials, she begins to understand the consequences of her selfishness and learns the value of kindness and friendship.

Featuring stunning, surreal illustrations that blend elements of classic book art, board game design, and realism, Plumelet is a visual and storytelling delight. Readers will be captivated by its imaginative world and the heartwarming journey of a young girl discovering the true meaning of compassion.

A magical tale with breathtaking illustrations—perfect for young readers who love adventure and wonder.
