About the book (from the dust jacket) This decidedly modern retelling of the children's classic The Princess and the Pea bursts with bold, witty illustrations. Here, the princess's fate is not determined entirely by a little pea, but hinges instead on the importance of being true to herself. Rather than marry an old, toothless king, Princess Esmerelda declares she will give up being a princess and runs away from home. Meanwhile. in a nearby kingdom, Prince Hector begins his travels in search of a "true' princess to be his bride. The princesses he meets try everything they can to make him fall in love, losing themselves-and Hector's attention- along the way. Each sleeps soundly despite the hard pea the prince has placed underneath each of their mattresses, a sure sign that not one of them is a "true' princess. On the road home, Prince Hector meets Princess Esmerelda and they fall in love. The prince's mother makes up a very special bed--pea and all---for their guest and one miserable. sleepless night later. Esmerelda emerges as true a modern princess as there ever was.
