This dark fairy tale is all
about Helena, daughter of circus performers, who has been living with her parents for as long as she can remember. She always wanted to escape her
extraordinary life and live a normal one. She wants to be able to play with other kids, be with her sick mom and do what other regular kids do her age. Apparently, in another realm,
a magical one, a princess who looks just like her wants
to escape her world and live a normal life too. With the help of a mirror mask,
the princess was able to steal Helena’s “not-so-ordinary” life while Helena
was transported to the Princess’ magical Kingdom. With life exchanged and both parents doing their part to retrieve their lost child, a series of unique twists and subplots reveal the quirky, varied and amazing characters of this story. From circus performers to unusual creatures and appalling personalities, Neil Gaiman again displays his ingenuity like never before. I wonder how he comes up with such out of this world
concepts. Read it! I promise you, you''''re going to be amazed by it.
