The story
Sassilass is sweet and charming until something sassy slips out. At holiday tea she teases Obaynotte's hat ribbon, then gulps a mug of hot chocolate full of salt and crumbles away.
She wakes in a salt mine deep under Transylvania in Romania. A cheeky rat named Picante shows her around, but her salty words keep stirring up Sare the Salt Shadow.
The real place: Salina Turda
Three things to tell your kid after the story.
- 1Salina Turda is an old salt mine in Romania that now has an underground Ferris wheel and little boats on a salty lake.
- 2People dug salt out of this mine for hundreds of years, starting in the Middle Ages.
- 3Salt stalactites hang from the mine's ceilings like icicles, just like in the story.
