I read this book: "The Swan Princess." This book cover is beautiful, isn't it?
This story is that eleven princes turned into swans by a witch. Eleven princess's sister whose name is Eliza expelled a castle by her new mother. To tell the truth, the new mother is the witch!
One night, Eliza found a group of swans. Surprisingly, they shook their wings and instead of swans, her eleven brothers stood before her. She heard everything. They could return human only at night.
Then, she began to strip the nettle stems and weaving them together for her brothers because it was only way to broke witch's spell. The next day, she met a King and he decided to take Eliza back to his palace and looked after her. He is a kind man. They began to love each other. They decided to marry, but his Archbishop didn't agree because he thought Eliza is a witch. So, Eliza was taken back to prison. She felt miserable.
However, then, eleven swans swooped down, and Eliza could throw the shirts over them. And, the swans turned into human! The witch's spell was broken and Eliza could begin to speak again. She talked the King everything and they got marry and lived happily.
