‘The Princess and the Pea’ (retold) by Lauren Child.
Theme: traditional tale.
Real princesses are hard to find these days. You just have to wait for one to come to you. And if one does, just to be sure, make her bed of twelve feather mattresses, and, and underneath place a small green pea. Then wait for the morning and if she wakes up all black and blue, you’ll know you have indeed found a real princess.
