James Thurber was an accomplished author and humorist who published short stories and cartoons in The New Yorker magazine. This book was published in 1950 which he wrote while completing another novel. There is a princess under a spell, a disguised prince trying to rescue her, and an evil duke trying to thwart him and marry the princess himself.
This book has many quirky characters and is written with a poetic like cadence. I think it would be best read aloud to children and enjoyed by adults as well. It's a short book, only 124 pages with large print in the edition I read.
Children's fiction, fairy tale, prince, princess, good versus evil
Recommend: Yes
