Publisher's Synopsis
In this book girls will find 26 tales of Princesses, Princes, Sultans, Kings, Queens, Viziers and romance drawn from the mists of time. As always there is a villain, be it a dragon, evil Vizier or wicked stepmother and there is most definitely a hero to save the day. Sometimes he is just a shepherd boy or a ne'er-do-well from the wrong side of town, but mostly he is a Prince in shining armour galloping in on his white stallion to save the damsel in distress. Herein you will find tales like THE SLIPPERS OF THE TWELVE PRINCESSES, BINNORIE, THE PRINCESS OF CANTERBURY, THE OUTCAST PRINCE, THE IVORY CITY AND ITS FAIRY PRINCESS and many, many more. But why a book for girls you may ask? Well, we've done a book for BOYS ONLY and it's only right that we do a GIRLS ONLY book as well. Some have said we are courting controversy and possibly even being sexist? We do agree - to a point. It seems that nowadays we are not allowed to use simple English adjectives to describe obvious situations. Neither are we allowed to be who we want to be. Why? Because the P.C. Police say so, and no-one dare disobey them! But in those moments when the hero of the story has risked life and limb to rescue his fair maiden then only the simplest and most straightforward words will do. As yet the P.C. police have not come up with a P.C. equivalent for that moment when, after overcoming adversity and every challenge thrown at him, the handsome Prince finally holds his beautiful Princess in his arms, gazes into her eyes and says "Marry me. Be my Queen forever!" - and I hope they never do, for this is the moment that every father's Princess dreams of - from the time she is born.
