5.0 out of 5 stars
Better than the average fairy tale,
By Christina L Henry (Lakewood, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Practical Princess and Other Liberating Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
This is a marvelous book for children. Unlike typical fairy tales, the princesses in this collection of stories are not "damsels in distress," but strong, powerful women who can take care of themselves. These aren't male-bashing tales, either, but stories where women and men work together, before living happily ever after.These stories have all the qualities of the old-fashioned fairy stories: dragons, sorcerers, knights, witches, and princesses. They are quite enjoyable, with little life lessons here and there, and everyone living happily ever after. I think any kid would enjoy these, boys and girls. And it teaches that girls are just as good as boys.

not your ordinary fairy tale collection,
By ...Loggie... "Loggie-log-log-log" (I live on the earth, in the western hemisphere, in North America, in the country of the United States of America, in Illinois in the town of Champaign) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Practical Princess and Other Liberating Fairy Tales (Hardcover)
The Practical Princess and other Liberating Fairy Tales is a wonderful book. It has all the normal things one would expect in a book of fairy tales; princesses locked in tall towers, enchanters, giants, a girl who when she speaks has gold fall from her mouth, bold knights, the un-noble blooded girl who marries a prince, and even a cockatrice.The main diffrence inbetween fairy tales in this book and other fairy tales is the strong female leads; the princess who rescues herself from being eaten by a dragon and then goes back home to her father's castle for her Geography lesson is just an example. This wonderfull book contains six short stories that are all enchanting. It also has simple drawings scattered throughout it's pages.
