Her people communicate through a beautiful language of colored scarves, waving messages on the wind. But when three monsters attack-Stymphalian Birds poisoning their dye-pits, a Cyclops whose beam bleaches color from their scarves, and Quetzalcoatl whose song steals their will-their vibrant language begins to die.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInspired by the proverb about the one-eyed man in the land of the blind, the story explores how a limitation becomes a profound strength. Faced with silence, Althea leads her people to invent a new language of stomps and pressed palms. Working together, they craft clever traps using the monsters' own weapons: trapping the birds in their hatred of beauty, imprisoning the Cyclops in his own emptiness, and finally uniting with the One-Eyed King to defeat the serpent of forgetting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough ingenuity and teamwork, Princess Althea proves that true power lies in listening, watching, and speaking for one another. Her journey culminates in a hopeful union with the Prince who Needs a Tongue to Talk, symbolizing that every difference becomes a strength when met with understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xlibris Us","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47775077957783,"sku":"9781470535377","price":704.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781470535377.webp?v=1777988365","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-princess-needs-nostrils-to-smell-9781470535377","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
