Customer Reviews

Perfect for young children

I wanted to read this story to my first graders before we saw the play. Most books I found were too sophisticated. This one was perfect!

Princess & the Pea

I received this quickly and in better condition than the seller had desribed. I was very pleased!

Nice

I bought this book for my 20 year old daughter who is truly a Princess Pea. She loved the book and I couldnt beat the price!

Beautiful Illustrations!

This is in reference to the version illustrated by D. Duntzee--some of the reviews here were a little confusing on that point. This version is the time-honored story by H. C. Andersen which I grew up hearing. The illustrations are really lovely and my two little girls just adore this book. If you have a library of classic children's stories, you should add this book to it--it's wonderful!

A Real Classic

Despite the Politically Correct gone amuck reviews of some reviewers, This is a children's classic and our daughter loves the story. It is part of our bedtime storybook rotation.
