Madame Pompenstance decides to decorate her hair with seashells in a desperate attempt to win the prize for the Best Headdress at the Fancy Dress Ball, but she doesn€t notice the ship that sails onto her head when she bends down to gather shells at the beach. €œLattimore has crafted exquisite, historically accurate illustrations that will provide as much mirth as her tongue-in-cheek tale.€Â--Publishers Weekly
