The story was endlessly amusing, the stabs at fairy tales conventions were perfect, the romance was cute and lovely, and the illustrations were gorgeous. I only took this long to read it because I did not want it to end, and I sooo want a hard-copy, even though it doesn't seem like there exist a S...
It was good, but it made me realize something I was pretty sure of anyway: I'm not one for fairy tales. There's just not enough in it for me. I want more than just a basic outline of a story. I guess I'm too modern to appreciate them. The idea of the story is great, though, and if it was turned ...
A short, very sweet story for younger readers about a princess given "ordinariness" by a fairy godmother. I liked most that Amy is never taken aback, and always is quick to deal with situations, with considerable good cheer.

Oh my goodness, this was such a delightful book! I'm glad that I picked it up - sometimes it's easy to discount these kinds of books, but this one is a perfect example of why it's silly to do so. Princess Amy is the seventh daughter of King Hulderbrand and Queen Rhodesia. All throughout history, the...
