When Rosie finds a silk picture frame decorated with a little princess sitting on an elephant, she is whisked away on another adventure, this time in India. But she can't find the little princess. She meets Suvita, who tells her that she lives with her uncle because her mother & father are dead & that she's definitely not a princess.
Rosie gets a postcard from her great-aunt in Africa and she can't wait to look up a map of Kenya. On the shelves of the old castle library however, she finds a carved wooden statue that turns out to be another of the little princesses her great-aunt told her about. Before she knows it, Rosie is off to see Africa for herself.
While she's getting ready for an Egyptian-themed party at her friend's house, Rosie spots a papyrus painting on a wall in Great-aunt Rosamund's castle. It's of a young girl in a beautiful white dress, wearing lots of gold jewellery - it must be another little princess! As soon as she says hello, Rosie is whisked away in a warm breeze.
