Description/Notes
Humorous retellings of three classic fairy tales, Diamonds and toads, The Princess and the pea, and Sleeping Beauty, in one volume. Once upon a time... A 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. All the familiar ingredients, hut 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? Gad 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: The Fairy's Mistake The Princess Test Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep Happily ever after has never been so hilarious! Three of the Newbery Honor author's masterful retellings of classic fairy tales are presented together in this omnibus volume.
