Book Description

4 and upP and up
Young Prince Stephen has a problem: how to find the girl he calls Cinderella. He has seen her from afar, but figuring out how to meet her proves difficult. In this charming version of the Cinderella story, take a peek at the Prince’s personal diary as he tells the well-known story from his point of view.

In his diary, find out what the Prince was feeling when he first met Cinderella, and what he really thinks about her stepsisters! All your burning questions will be answered: Did Cinderella have a fairy godmother? Did the Prince really try a glass slipper on every girl in the kingdom? And most important, what really happened at the ball? In this twist on the familiar tale, the Prince tells it like it is, and you’ll be amazed by the real story.

Follow along with the Prince as he searches for his Cinderella, and discover a whole new way of looking at this classic fairy tale.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cinderella story from the young Prince's side, May 29, 2005
This review is from: The Prince's Diary (Hardcover)
The Prince is the character from the Cinderella tale, retelling this classic from an unusual perspective. On the date June 19 in his diary, the Prince writes, "I saw Cinderella again today! I was out inspecting a section of broken fence when she came into view...carrying a basket of wet clothes that she hung out to dry." The story follows the traditional story line, but seems fresh and embellished in being told once again from this novel perspective.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new twist on a classic, October 12, 2005
This review is from: The Prince's Diary (Hardcover)
We've all heard Cinderella's version of her "happily ever after" story, but what about her Prince? This delightful book gives us his version of events, and provides a fresh perspective on a well known tale. The diary format allows us to get inside the Prince's head as his mother tries to find the perfect match to be his wife. Kids will love the accident prone Prince, while parent should find the new point of view a refreshing change of pace.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Breath of Fresh Air, February 12, 2011
This review is from: The Prince's Diary (Hardcover)
The diary begins on June 4... wow, that's my mother's birthday! The Prince, while riding on his horse named Silver, discovers for the very first time, a beautiful girl carrying water buckets along a country road and he decides to call her Cinderella. From this point on, the story line turns and twists with great humor, along with fantastic detailed illustrations. The story progresses a bit more with a character sketch of Miss Cinderella doing lots of chores, like gardening and harvesting food; doing laundry for tons of folks. I especially like the family dynamics of the Prince with his mother that the author weaves in throughout the story.

My favorite line is, "She laughed, and her smile made her just as beautiful as I imagined."

I was so impressed with the author's interpretation of the Prince's perspective. I found the book, the Prince's Diary, a very refreshing read. The illustrator put so much body language into her drawings that you will just stare at the beauty of the countryside and the emotions on the faces of the Prince and Cinderella. The very last page grabbed my heart, as I know it will yours. Get the book!
