She cannot sit still until she knows if her dream is true. So with her younger sisters, Carmela and Tomasina, Franca ventures into the forest at the end of their garden. As they travel deeper through nettles and thickets, drawing closer and closer to the cave, the world shifts, and everything shrinks and expands at the same time. Here, they meet beasts and creatures that shock and delight them, and they escape horrible things that frighten them. They learn to be brave, to be bold, to face their darkest fears. And what of the queen? Well, what they find in the cave is perhaps the most unexpected thing of all . . . In Júlia Sardà's irresistible, mysterious modern fairy tale, each spread is a stunning and wildly imaginative set piece brought to life in sumptuous color and detail.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJúlia Sardà \u003c\/b\u003eis a Spanish artist who has illustrated many books for children, including \u003ci\u003eMary Who Wrote Frankenstein \u003c\/i\u003eby Linda Bailey, \u003ci\u003eThe Liszts\u003c\/i\u003e by Kyo Maclear, \u003ci\u003eThe Wolf's Secret \u003c\/i\u003eby\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eNicolas Digard and Myriam Dahman, and a number of classics, including \u003ci\u003eAlice's Adventures in Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Wonderful Wizard of Oz\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eCharlie and the Chocolate Factory.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Queen in the Cave \u003c\/i\u003eis the first book she has both written and illustrated.
