Dulcinea in the Forbidden Forest cover

Dulcinea in the Forbidden Forest is as well written and funny as we expect from Ole, and the illustrations are quintessentially warm and full of character—especially the duck” Julia Marshall, Publisher

A funny illustrated fairy tale for early readers about the brave and capable Dulcinea, who must save her father from the witch's spell and get him home to celebrate her birthday.A funny illustrated fairy tale for early readers about the brave and capable Dulcinea, who must save her father from the witch's spell and get him home to celebrate her birthday. Dulcinea has known since she was small not to enter the dangerous magic forest where the witch has her castle. But her father hasn't come home from collecting blueberries for her birthday pancakes. Did the witch cast a spell on him? Dulcinea must brave the dark forest and sneak into the witch's castle to steal the spell book and free him. Her father would hardly have named her after the brave Dulcinea if she couldn't break a witch's spell to celebrate her birthday with him! This is a funny fairy tale for children starting on independent reading, with warm and characterful illustrations and a witty story.

"Profuse line and wash illustration, in a minimal palette of light oranges and browns, set the scene and capture atmosphere and personalities beautifully, from the egomaniacal witch to Dulcinea's sweet father—whether as a human or a tree."—The Horn Book Magazine
