This fantastic storybook has three full length stories, each with several chapters. Florizella is feisty but doesn't always think ahead, brave but not always nice. In other words, she is very much not a Perfect Princess. But she always tries her best. Kids will love the humour - my favourite is the fairies having a Farmer's Market, buying and selling Farmers - and the fun illustrations. This is a great book to share with your little one at bedtime; they'll be happy to go each night to find out what happens next!
These three stories were originally published under the titles Princess Florizella, Princess Florizella and the Wolves and Princess Florizella and the Giant.
They were originally dedicated to her daughter but have been reimagined in this edition which she has dedicated to her grandchildren.
“Princess Florizella was friends with some of the princesses who had studied the Princess Rules, and behaved just as the Rules said they should. Florizella thought their hair was lovely: so golden and so very long. And their clothes were nice: so richly embroidered. And their shoes were delightful: so tiny and handmade in silk. But their days bored her to death…”
Instead, Princess Florizella rides her horse, Jellybean, all over the kingdom, having adventures of her own…
