The Princess Tales, Volume I - Gail Carson Levine

Three of the Newbery Honor author's masterful retellings of classic fairy tales are presented together in this omnibus volume. \nOnce upon a time... \nA 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.\n \nAll 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?\n \nGail 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: \n The Fairy's Mistake \nThe Princess Test \nPrincess Sonora and the Long Sleep \nHappily ever after has never been so hilarious!\n
