The Princess and the Pea

Classic Hans Christian Andersen tale with traditional illustrations as an antidote to Disney

The prince is looking for a true princess to be his wife, but all the girls he meets are too rude, too vain or too greedy. One stormy night a young lady knocks on the palace door claiming to be a princess, so the queen decides to put her to the test. Will she feel the pea underneath the huge pile of mattresses?

This classic fairy tale is wonderfully brought to life with soft, colorful illustrations by popular illustrator Maja Dusíková.
