The Ordinary Princess discussion

The Ordinary Princess It's a classic wonderful fairy tale that every little girl should read. (I read it first when I was ten.)

Basically, the story is the seventh daughter of a kingdom of blonde, perfect princesses is given an odd "gift" by her fairy godmother--- to be ordinary. She develops freckles, her hair goes from golden curls to straight and mouse-brown, and she becomes a complete tomboy. (Disgraceful, naturally.)

However, her parents still love her, and don't mistreat her--- just don't understand her, or why she won't just marry some prince just to become his queen. So she runs away, and gets a job as a dishwasher. Here she meets a prince, Perry, also in hiding from his own royal "duties", disguised as a peasant.

I won't spoil how the book comes out, but it's classic fairy tale style, so you can guess.

If anyone hasn't read this tome, they should, and definitely share it with their daughters if they have them.

I love this book! I have read it so many times, and nobody else I know has ever even heard of it!

love this book!

I adored this book growing up . Just re read it last year to remind myself why it was so magical

I read this book so many times oas a kid. It is so good.

My very FAVORITE book growing up!! Now I buy a copy for every little girl I know old enough to read it. Peregrine was my very first book crush. :)

A book that has shaped me and inspired me since I was a child and it continues to do so. Absolutely love it! Best fairytale story I have ever read with a charmingly ordinary but important massage. I strongly suggest this to any and all young individuals, as well as adults who still cling to their childish wonder.
