Princess, Princess, written and illustrated by Penny Dale and first published 2004 by Walker Books Ltd.
“A wonderful, magical story…enchanting…bewitching…exquisite…” INIS
Loosely based on the tale of Sleeping Beauty, this is the magical story of a pretty princess who forgets to invite one frowning little fairy to her party. The fairy, in a fit of pique, casts a naughty, nasty spell. But she regrets her temper tantrum and, with a kiss, makes everything all right once again.
