In the first volume of The Adventures of The Princess and Mr. Whiffle, we learned what lurks beneath our beds. What's more, we learned that little girls are not helpless, and that princesses are not always what they seem.

In this second installment of the Princess's adventures, we learn a little more about the Princess's family. We learn how dark it is in the Deep Below…

And we learn what happens when the Princess gets a little brother.

The Adventures of The Princess and Mr. Whiffle: The Dark of Deep Below is a dark twist on the classic children's picture book.

Perfect for geek children and adults who love dark faerie tales, international bestselling author Patrick Rothfuss has described the Princess's adventures as, 'Calvin and Hobbes meets Coraline, with a healthy dose of Edward Gorey mixed in.'

Patrick Rothfuss

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Patrick Rothfuss had the good fortune to be born in Wisconsin in 1973, where the long winters and lack of cable television encouraged a love of reading and writing.

After abandoning his chosen field of chemical engineering, Pat became an itinerant student, wandering through clinical psychology, philosophy, medieval history, theater, and sociology. Nine years later, Pat was forced by university policy to finally complete his undergraduate degree in English.

When not reading and writing, he teaches fencing and dabbles with alchemy in his basement.

Dark, twisted, and sweet.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2013

Verified Purchase

This is not a children's story.

At least, not until they're much older, and much less susceptible to nightmares. It is, however, _very_ well written, and even with a large portion of the story being pictures, it still manages to invoke a great deal of imagination and implication in the reader's mind, preferring to hint at things that happen off-scene and in between rather than any explicit visuals (mostly gore and "things in the dark"). I got this for my wife (a long-time Sandman fan, and also a fan of Patrick's other works) for her birthday, and we both loved it.

There are three endings. Each leads on from the previous, and each provides a different feel to the book if you stop there. Feel free to stop at the one you like. (:

I truly did enjoy this book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 17, 2014

If you are looking to purchase your first Mr. Whiffle book, then purchase The Thing Beneath The Bed instead. While this book is longer and explores some interesting subject matter, it also is trying to repeat a trick that only works once. Read the original. Don't get me wrong, I truly did enjoy this book. It simply doesn't have the impact of the first entry in the series.

Hilariously dark

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 27, 2018

Verified Purchase

A young princess and her teddy bear go on adventures in this illustrated story... but this is definitely NOT a kids' book.

Dark, twisted, and amazing well done: the author hilariously breaks stereotypes, while the artist adds all kinds of little surprises that keep this book fresh re-read after re-read.

Patrick Rothfuss at his best

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2014

We love Patrick Rothfuss and everything he writes as of this time. This book was ideal for my granddaughter who is seven even
though she reads well beyond this level because she has a younger brother who has made her feel the same things the young
prince caused the princess to feel. I also liked the fact that the book was divided into chapters which gives the feel of more advanced reading level books.

Beautifully twisted

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 19, 2014

Beautiful, strange and simply amazing.
The art is fantastic and full of fun little Easter eggs for these willing to take the time to really look. You may even see a well known king killer has come along for the adventure.
The story is twisted and fun till the end and just dark enough to break the norm and make u wonder ...."he won't go there ...will he?"

great bedtime story for kids and adults

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 12, 2013

Verified Purchase

not as dark as the 1st installment, but more appropriate for kids as well and a nice break from the fluff stories we read most nights, a journey into the minds of all children who had to make room in their worlds for a new little brother, sister, or visiting cousin.... you might want to kill them at times - but can you let the goblins eat them?

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 16, 2014

i love the illustrations. In general I like the book. Its a little scary for the 3 year old. But also exciting. Goes on a little long. Thank-goodness for the happy ending. It had me worried.

Für Fans! Sehr eigenartig. Erfüllt nicht ganz die (hohe) Erwartung...

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on August 28, 2014

Als ich dieses Buch bestellt habe, war ich mir nicht sicher, was ich bekommen würde. Ich tat es, weil ich den Autor, Herrn Rothfuss seit den ersten Zeilen seiner "Kingkiller Chronicles" geradezu bewundere.

Das Buch an sich ist erstmal schön aufgemacht und kommt in einem breiten Format daher, sprich, es ist breiter als hoch.
Dann ist es weiterhin auch komplett in schwarz-weiß gehalten. Nicht, dass ich etwas anderes erwartet hätte zu diesem Preis, aber ein Farbdruck hätte den Bildern evtl noch mehr Leben verliehen. Wo ich von Bildern spreche:
Jede Seite (der insgesamt 159) wird zu 4/5 von einem Bild ausgefüllt und enthält im Schnitt 10 Worte Text. Es ist also wirklich nicht mehr als ein großgedrucktes Bilderbuch, vergleichbar mit den "Pixi-Büchern", die man so kennt.
Was es besonders macht, ist der Grundton der Geschichte. Ein kleines Baby verschwindet in einer Höhle und das (minderjährige) Mädchen geht es suchen. Es gibt Monster (Goblins) und das Ableben eben dieser. Für ein Kinderbuch sicherlich zu viel des Guten (bzw Bösen), aber im Endeffekt weit entfernt von einer Horrorgeschichte.

Die 3 Enden sind eigentlich keine; Dachte ich zunächst an eine Geschichte mit Abzweigungen, an dem ich entscheiden kann,wo ich weiterlese, sind hier die drei "Enden" einfach nacheinander weg geschrieben und bauen aufeinander auf. Sprich: ohne Ende 1 macht Ende 2 keinen Sinn, da es das Verbindungsstück darstellt.

Muss diesem Buch also attestieren, für mich "nicht Fisch noch Fleisch" zu sein, da es für ein Kinderbuch zu böse, für ein Erwachsenenbuch zu seicht ist. Für ein Roman hat es viel zu wenig Text, für ein Bilderbuch der Oberklasse sind die Zeichnungen nur in schwarz weiß oft zu inhaltsleer und wenig detailliert. Und ein Buch mit "mehreren Enden" ist es leider schon gar nicht.

Was bleibt, ist eine schöne Idee, gute (aber nicht sehr gute) Zeichnungen, die zusammen ein schönes, eigenartiges Buch ergeben. Für Fans von Patrick Rothfuss sicherlich gelungen, für den neutralen Leser wahrscheinlich überflüssig.
