What is Princess Pigsty about?

<p><br>One morning Princess Isabella throws her crown out the window--it's BORING being a princess, she declares. When she steadfastly refuses to fetch her crown from the fishpond, her father, the king, puts his royal foot down. Off to the pigsty with you! he commands--and Isabella couldn't be happier about her punishment! Because while plain old princesses spend all their time primping and smiling and stifling yawns--yuckety-yuk!-- REAL girls get to peel onions, pick blackberries, and sometimes even sleep outside with the pigs.</p><h3>Publishers Weekly</h3><p>As they did in The Princess Knight, Funke and Meyer once again skewer the princess stereotype. While Isabella leads a pampered life that others can only dream of-waited on hand and foot, with someone to blow her nose for her and curl her hair-it's the royal gal's worst nightmare. I am tired of being a princess! It's boring, boring, boring! she bemoans one day. Servants drawn with eyes and mouths clamped tightly shut further underscore a life of repetition and conformity. Funke portrays her heroine with a fiercely independent streak, in direct contrast to Isabella's two older sisters, who are horrified when she tosses her crow
