Playful and delightfully absurd, The Princess and the Pea is one of Hans Christian Andersen's most beloved short fairy tales. This beautifully illustrated edition from Pook Press' Golden Age of Illustration Series celebrates the wit and whimsy of a story that has enchanted readers for generations.
A young prince longs to marry a true princess, yet despite travelling far and wide, he finds none who meet the royal standard. One stormy night, an unexpected visitor arrives at the palace gates: a young woman soaked by rain, claiming to be a princess. Though intrigued, the Queen remains unconvinced and devises a test unlike any other. By placing a single pea beneath layers of mattresses and featherbeds, the girl's sensitivity must prove her noble birth.
This deluxe volume from Pook Press expands Hans Christian Andersen's brilliant tale through a beautiful collection of illustrations by masters of the Golden Age, including Arthur Rackham, W. Heath Robinson, Harry Clarke, Milo Winter, and more. A timeless and enchanting addition to any library and the perfect gift for lovers of fairy tales and classic illustration alike.
