The Fairy's Mistake

(2) 4-6 Princess Tales series. Illustrated by Mark Elliott. In The Fairy's Mistake, an extended spoof of the folktale "Toads and Diamonds," a fairy rewards and punishes two sisters' respective kindness and greed, but both plans backfire wildly. In The Princess Test, a retelling of Andersen's "The Princess and the Pea," a blacksmith's kind but fastidious daughter wins the prince's hand. Fans of funny fairy tales will enjoy these dryly humorous stories.
