Franca cannot forget a dream about a queen who lives beyond the forest. She persuades her younger sisters to go with her in search of the cave, and the three enter a world where imagination and reality mingle. Their adventure opens the first chapter of Júlia Sardà’s Three Sisters trilogy, a picture book about curiosity, courage and growing up.
