Era uma vez...

A princess who has never been refused. That is the problem. Edeltrudes gets every wish, and it makes her cruel. Then she meets three blind men and sets them tasks no one should have to finish. The sea. The sky. The earth. What they bring back is not what she ordered. Almeida did not write a nursery rhyme. She wrote a literary fairy tale with teeth, and a girl who has to learn that wanting is not the same as seeing. Once upon a time is the bait. The lesson is not gentle.
