An original fairy tale reminiscent of
Tennyson’s “The Lady of Shalot.”
The Girl in the Castle
Inside the Museum
KATE BERNHEIMER
ILLUSTRATED BY NICOLETTA CECOLLI
ONCE THERE WAS A GIRL who lived in a castle. The castle was inside a
museum. When children visited, they’d press against the glass globe in
which the castle sat, to glimpse the tiny girl. But when they went home, the
girl was lonely. Then one day, she had an idea! What if you hung a picture
of yourself inside the castle inside the museum, inside this book? Then
you’d able to keep the girl company.
Reminiscent of “The Lady of Shalot,” here is an original fairy tale that feels
like a dream—haunting, beautiful, and completely unforgettable.
