Description
The Princess Mirror-Belle Collection is a delightful and imaginative series of children’s books written by Julia Donaldson, the bestselling author of The Gruffalo, and illustrated by Lydia Monks. Aimed at early readers (ages 5–9), the stories follow the adventures of a mischievous, self-confident, and slightly vain princess who emerges from the mirror to surprise a perfectly ordinary girl named Ellen.
Mirror-Belle is no typical princess—she’s bold, chaotic, and full of wild tales about her royal life. She claims to be from a faraway land where she battles enchanted creatures and solves peculiar problems, often in ways that are as hilarious as they are unhelpful. Whenever Ellen has a spot, a scrape, or even just a boring day, Mirror-Belle appears with outrageous plans to “help,” often causing a whirlwind of mischief and fun before disappearing back into the mirror, leaving Ellen to clean up the mess.
Each story is filled with humor, magic, and a dash of gentle chaos, capturing children’s imaginations with fast-paced storytelling and vibrant, whimsical illustrations. The contrast between sensible Ellen and the outrageous Mirror-Belle provides endless entertainment, while also gently exploring themes of friendship, identity, and confidence.
