They’re not quite the fairy tales your mom read to you!

    The fairy thinks she’s rewarding Rosella when she makes jewels fall from her lips as she speaks; she thinks she’s punishing her sister Myrtle by making bugs, toads and snakes fall from hers—she’s wrong!
    You’ve heard of the princess and the pea, but have you heard of the princess and the parsley, the princess and the raw noodle, and the princess and the missing stitch? You will in this story.
    The fairy thought it was a good gift: she made Princess Sonora ten times smarter than anyone else. But how will her smarts help her? She’s going to prick herself on a spindle and sleep for a hundred years.
    Enjoy these funny fractured fairy tales from the author Ella Enchanted.
