Synopsis

In The Frog Prince, a spoiled princess grudgingly befriends a frog after a chance meeting at a pond. Forced against her will to spend time with the creature, he is ultimately revealed to be a handsome prince under a spell when she hurls him against the wall. In many other versions of the story the curse is broken by a kiss or a night spent on the princess's pillow. It is possible that the idea for the story goes back to Roman times when the emperor Nero was often mockingly compared to a frog.

This is one gorgeous book. The Frog Prince is a classic tale, but is “made special” with the incredible work of Sybille Schenker. Filled with beautiful pictures, translucent and die-cut pictures, both children and adults will love this.......more
