There, they encounter a dangerous madman named Caul, who also happens to be Miss Peregrines brother. Complete with dozens of newly discovered (and thoroughly creepy) vintage photographs, this new adventure will delight fantasy readers of all ages.

By Linda Rodriguez McRobbie You think you know her story. Youve read the Brothers Grimm; youve watched the Disney cartoons; you cheered as these virtuous women lived happily ever after. But the lives of real princesses couldnt be more different. Sure, many were graceful and benevolent leaders--but just as many were ruthless in their quest for power, and all of them had secrets hidden away in their royal closets. Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe was a Nazi spy. Empress Elizabeth of the Austro-Hungarian empire slept wearing a mask of raw veal. Princess Olga of Kiev murdered thousands of men, and Princess Rani Lakshmibai waged war on the battlefield, charging into combat with her toddler son strapped to her back. Princesses Behaving Badly offers minibiographies of all these princesses and dozens more. Its a fascinating read for history buffs, feminists, and anyone seeking a different kind of bedtime story.
