5.0 out of 5 stars A Delightful, Royal Story!, April 24, 2006

By	S. Marie "smwl" (California) - See all my reviews

I was privileged to meet Princess Martha Louise on her recent U.S. book tour, and she was so delightful and charming. She read her story to our group in her enthusiastic, dramatic voice and then sat for hours autographing the book. If you're able to purchase the most recent edition with the CD (which she narrates) then it is an extra-special, great treat for kids of all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book about Real Princesses, April 16, 2006

By	Karla & James (San Diego CA USA) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful book about real princesses and how they live. The book is based upon the First King of Norway, who was crowned in 1905. It is a fascinating tale that intertwines history with fiction. We saw Princess Martha Louise read the book and know why the Norwegians love their Royal family. She was poised and happy to chat with our kids as she signed their books. A treat of a lifetime with a book of a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why Kings and Queens Don't Wear Crowns, April 12, 2007

By	Cynthia H. Lahusky - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Why Kings And Queens Don't Wear Crowns (Hardcover)

Great book. Brings back memories for me as I was a yearly visitor to Norway. I remember seeing the King and Queen getting married and have followed their lives and the lives of the Crown Prince and Princess. It is a loving and tender book. I can envision the real people that it is talking about.
