Seemed like a typical fairy tale. Started out very much like Sleeping Beauty. I'm surprised having read many of MacDonald's novels that he would write something as fluffy as this.

Fun light read. An old-fashioned fairy tale with interesting characters that portrait different human emotions and impulses. I personally enjoyed that the prince was the one head over heels for the princess while the princess was previous oblivious until the end.

This is the cutes little fairetale!
Written in classic 1800th style, but in a smooth way.
It's an easy read, great for late time reading.
It holds a cute lovestory and a waterproof plot.
I was actually a bit dissapointet in the fact that it was so short, but it couldn't have been any longer either!
I would recommende this if you like the old, English writtingstyle, a cute lovestory and mild fantasy
Or just for a late time fairytale, a lonesome night!

An okay fairy-tale. On the whole, boring, like most of them.
Maybe I have a thing against happy endings?

Such a delightful quick read. I first learned of this story after hearing Tori Amos's musical. I checked out the book. It is different from the material Tori used. The Princess loses gravity after the king's sister puts a spell on her. She can't be serious and it is thought she needs to cry to bring her down by the doctors of the king. No one can make her cry until...
This is a fun and playful little read. I simply love this story and wish I knew about it as a child. A great story for your children if they like fairy tales.

This is probably my very favorite fairy tale ever! It could be absolutely wonderful fleshed out and made into more than a short story.

This was a fun read. It feels like it must've been a bit ahead of its time as a lot of the humour works quite well now. I went in expecting a cute fairy tale but really it's a very funny book with humour adults can appreciate.
