App Description

The Crystal Mountain
by Ruth Sanderson
PicPocket Books
Reading Level: 6-10 years

Synopsis:
When the Fairies of the Crystal Mountain steal Anna’s tapestry, she sends her three sons to get it back. With the help of three magic horses, her youngest son, Perrin, goes through fiery plains and icy seas and at last reaches the Crystal Mountain. Will he succeed in his task?

Review:
“Sanderson’s lush, detailed oil paintings are perfectly suited to the theater of the classic fairy tale, where blood red bays may be summoned by a whistle’s trill, and heroes climb mountains of crystal to reach palaces inhabited by velvet-clothed princesses.” – Kirkus
