(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Jules Feiffer. In Lowry's breezy, comic royalty-in-disguise tale, pampered Princess Patricia Priscilla--"Pat"--switches outfits with her chambermaid and attends school. Back at the castle, plans are underway for Pat's sixteenth birthday bash, during which she must choose among three outrageously revolting suitors. Can Pat escape an awful marriage and continue her schooling? Lowry's wickedly gleeful caricatures meet their match in Feiffer's animated drawings.
