| Summary |
In a modern interpretation of the classic fairy tale, the independent-minded Princess Esmerelda proves her royalty by feeling a pea through twenty mattresses. In this contemporary retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's tale, independent Princess Esmerelda runs away after refusing to marry a king chosen by her parents, only to fall in love with Prince Hector, who drives a red roadster. Illustrated and told from a fresh point of view, Once Upon a Princess and a Pea opens a door to a 19th century classic with a 20th century kick. The brilliant, flamboyant illustrations set the stage for this humorous retelling in an art-deco-inspired fantasy world. In this version, the princess's fate hinges on the importance of being true to herself. Full color. |
