What is Once Upon a Princess and a Pea about?

30 pages : 29 cm 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 Bound in printed pictorial boards. Issued in printed paper dust jacket
