The Ring and the Rose

William Makepeace Thackeray — one of the classics of British literature.
In his tale "The Ring and the Rose," exciting adventures combine with subtle satire, vivid theatricality, and deep meaning. In the amazing kingdom of Paflagonia live a king
and queen, princesses and princes, kind sorceresses and treacherous
courtiers, who are very much like ordinary people. All of them
will go through many incredible twists of the plot, — but, of course, in the fairy-tale world, everything will end well.
Exquisite illustrations by Evgeny Antonenkov perfectly match the story and make this book a true work of art.
