Once upon a time in Persia, there lived a girl who learned to
recognise her reflection, not in a mirror, but in the shape of the
stars and the earth around her. On her wedding day, she sees
herself in a mirror for the first time and does not recognise
herself. Heartbroken, she runs away, mistakenly believing another
bride has taken her place. Her love desperately follows her, trying
to persuade her that the reflection she saw was in fact herself.
Protesting, the woman must explain to her love that her shape
cannot be contained so neatly, for she is the shape of water in the
lake, of the sun when it rises and sets, and the moon when full and
at crescent. Once Upon a Time in Persia promises to entrance
readers with its painstakingly detailed illustrations inspired by
the rich vivacity of Persian illuminated manuscripts, and prompts
them to celebrate their place in the grand beauty of the wider
world.
