Once Upon a Marigold


Christian has longed to meet the strange princess that lives across the river, but he is only a commoner. One day in a daring fit of what is most likely foolishness but some may call boldness, Christian sends a pigeon to the princess with a message tied to it's foot. And so begins the story, part comedy, part romance and part everything-but-the-kitchen-sink.

I don't think there is anything bad in this book.

Beauty, though nice, is shown to be unimportant. True love and commitment are very important. Christian is a hero you can cheer for. Guileless but smart. And very very sweet.

If you have read The Frog Princess books and liked them, then I believe you will also like this book. Very different, but good fun.
