The Princess Tales, Volume I (Princess Tales (HarperTrophy))

Once upon a time… A kind sister and a cruel one. A charming prince. A spiteful fairy. A hundred-year snooze. A pea under a pile of mattresses. A kiss. All the familiar ingredients, but why is the punished sister happy? Where did that extra prince come from, and what does a flock of balding sheep or a fleck of tuna in a chocolate cake have to do with anything? Gail Carson Levine has waved her magic wand over three well-known fairy tales, and presto! They are transformed — and sparklingly funny-in these delightful retellings: The Fairy’s Mistake The Princess Test Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep Happily ever after has never been so hilarious!
