YA
Prince George has "animal magic"; he's able to communicate with animals, a feared and forbidden skill in his homeland. After his mother's death, he's followed by a cursed bear. The story meanders until the prince meets Princess Beatrice and her hound companion. Some Grimm-inspired twists late in the book enhance the plot.
