The Storyteller and his Daughter

About the Book

How can you tell a "fake" princess from a "real" princess? If you believed the story of the Princess and the Pea, you might think a true princess is the one who complains the loudest. I never liked that story. I wrote this story so I could share with my daughter the characteristics of a "true" princess.

I also included in my story the secret to falling in love and staying in love and creating more love and harmony in the home by stopping sibling quarreling.
