A classic masterpiece of middlegrade fantasy by the author of The

Dorr was once a city of merriment, music and dancing. Now it lies grey
and silent under the spell of the witch Sirdis. When a young princess
arrives in Dorr on a secret quest, she finds a town full of mystery,
magic and danger. As she meets with a succession of strange, funny and
frightening characters, Dorr's true history, and the true nature of her
quest, become clear through the stories they tell each other. Can the
princess find the gardens of Dorr and free the city from its evil
enchantment?
By turns beautiful, thrilling, frightening and comical, The Gardens of
Dorr is a richly detailed, unforgettable fantasy adventure, considered
by many to the crowning achievement of one of Europe's most beloved
children's writers.
