BR 1-08: The Twelve Dancing Princesses

This book is about twelve beautiful princesses. Their father, the king, was a grumpy old man who didn't believe in having fun.

The girls slept in a tall tower with their beds side by side. Every night, the king locked the tower door, so that they couldn't sneak out. One morning, when the door was unlocked, the princesses were still asleep. As the maid went to wake them, she noticed their shoes were lying in a soggy pile on the floor. The shoes were worn out. When the king heard about the shoes, he was furious. "Those girls have been out dancing," he spluttered. "Princesses should not be out dancing all night!" he yelled at them. The girls weren't ashamed in the least. The next morning, it was clear that princesses had been out again. The king decided that the first man to discover where his daughters went each night could marry one of them. Posters went up across the land.

One day, a magician named Ralph and his pet dog, Rascal. Ralph noticed one of the king's posters and decided to find out more. Ralph went to the castle and talked with king. This night he pretended to fall fast asleep. There is old rug in the corner of the room to reveal a secret trap door in princesses’ room. One by one the girls disappeared down some steps and into a long, dark tunnel. When the princesses were out of sight, Ralph quickly entered their room. He clicked his fingers and a clock appeared. With a second click, Ralph vanished. He catches up with the princesses and saw the princesses danced in the beautiful castle. He talked king about these things. And he married youngest princess.
