Dulcinea is very happy living in the woods with her father and the animals who provide for them. Although her father always allows her to play and explore and take risks, travelling into the forest beyond their land is forbidden for it is ruled by a terrible, angry witch. Yet when Dulcinea's birthday arrives and they released they're missing blueberries for her pancakes, her father 'must' break his own vow and enter the forest for the fruit...

Set with a variety of fairy-tale elements yet with a modern, female character full of sharp wits, Dulcinea is full of minimal yet delightfully surreal illustrations throughout. The confrontation between the witch and Dulcinea is fab. The story, presented in chapters, borders between brief writing but with a rich use of language. Translated by Shelley Tanaka.
