The Princess and the Sunpati Flower

by Binita Buddhacharya

Each time a child is born to a king and queen, the queen’s younger sister secretly gives the child away to a fisherman. In despair, the king falls ill. A bird tells the king that only the sunpati flower can save his life. How will the king get the flower? Can he find his children?

A rich, dramatic Nepali fairy tale of jealousy, a rescued prince, and a magical flower, where the truth shines through in the end for young fairy-tale lovers.
