A comic tale for pampered princesses (and princes, too)

Princess Sophie

is the most spoilt princess you could EVER meet. And when it’s

just can’t get to sleep

her birthday, you wouldn’t believe

and it’s ALL because

how many presents she gets.

But even a princess can have

stomping about all night.

TOO many presents . . . . . . and Princess Ruby learns that maybe gifts are NOT the most important thing after all. A comic cautionary tale for pampered princesses everywhere!

But when Sophie reads her favourite book of fairy tales, she suddenly has a bright idea and figures out EXACTLY

art Caryl H

what that giant really needs. A funny tale all about friendship that proves there’s nothing like a good bedtime story. £10. 99
