When two girls-a princess and a shepherd's daughter-are captured by a mysterious woman, they must face the ugly truth about their harmful behavior. Despite drastically different backgrounds, both girls have become cruel and disobedient youths.

Rosamond is a young princess who shares a birthday with Agnes, a shepherd's daughter. They grew up with contrasting lifestyles but manage to develop the same negative habits. Both girls are spoiled by their parents and become self-centered bullies who hurt everyone in their path. On different occasions, a wise woman grabs each girl and brings them to her magical cottage. She forces them to acknowledge their wrongdoing and attempts to teach them a better way of life. While one girl embraces change, the other remains stagnant forcing them to finally come to ahead.

A Double Story uses classic fairy tale tropes in an unconventional way. Its message of empathy and hope is told through vivid storytelling and romantic images. It's a cautionary tale about the dangers of self-indulgence and the need for structure and love.

With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of A Double Story is both modern and readable.
