The queen has a plan to help the prince find a real princess to marry.

Based on the tale "The princess and the pea" by Hans Christian Andersen.

Only by feeling a pea through twenty mattresses and twenty featherbeds can a girl prove she is a real princess.

In a dynamic retelling of "The Princess and the Pea," 17-year-old Violet falls in love at first sight with the dashing Prince Richard, who has arrived at her impoverished family farm in the middle of a storm and whose parents insist that he marry a princess of high nobility.

"The King and evil Queen are looking for a proper Princess to marry their Prince. When a Princess is found, will they all live happily ever after? Or will they live at all?"--

"One stormy night, a mysterious woman knocks at the castle door. She claims to be a true princess but the Queen has her doubts. She concocts a clever scheme to test the girl and all it takes is a single dried pea"--Amazon.com.
