And then, I alighted on this delightful little ebook – a classic from the 1980s, which I had always remembered seeing but never picking up.

Neither Kaye’s princess nor her book should be considered ordinary.” (School Library Journal) “This delightful fairy tale is sure to please young romantics. she meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as she is!

Unlike her six beautiful sisters, she has brown hair and freckles, and would rather have adventures than play the harp, embroider tapestries. Genre: Fantasy, Fairy Tale, Middle Grade/Young AdultĪlong with Wit, Charm, Health, and Courage, Princess Amy of Phantasmorania receives a special fairy christening gift: Ordinariness.
