Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

From the aftermath of revolution to the streets of Rome and the shores of Portsmouth, Once Upon a Time... A Princess follows Salima - a woman born in Britain to exiled Omani-Zanzibari parents - as she searches for the meaning of love, belonging, and freedom.
Haunted by the legend of Princess Salima, the 19th-century Sultan's daughter who defied her royal fate for love, Salima sets out on her own journey of self-discovery. Along the way, she meets Layla, a spirited Omani girl determined to escape tradition, and together they trace the echoes of their shared past across Zanzibar, Oman, and Europe.
But the pursuit of independence carries its own heartbreaks - betrayals, forbidden loves, and the painful price of choice. From the quiet harbours of England to the tangled passions of Rome, Salima must confront not only the ghosts of her heritage but the illusions she has built about herself.
A sweeping tale of love, loss, and resilience, Once Upon a Time... A Princess explores how the past and present entwine - and how every woman must, in her own way, learn to reclaim her crown.
