## Description

Ladybird has published fairy tales for over forty-five years, bringing the magic of traditional stories to each new generation of children. The Ladybird Tales series is based on the original Ladybird re-tellings, with beautiful pictures of the kind children like best - full of richness and detail. This beautiful hardback edition of The Princess and the Pea is a perfect first illustrated introduction to this classic fairy tale for young readers from 3+. The tale is sensitively retold, beginning with a prince's search for a proper princess, the arrival of a young girl at the castle one stormy night and an unusual test to see if she is a real princess.
