## Description

Once upon a time, there was the most beautiful, extraordinary princess. At least, until the day of her christening, when a grumpy fairy placed a spell to make her ORDINARY! Princess Amethyst Alexandra Araminta Adelaide Aurelia Anne (also known as Princess Amy) doesn't mind being ordinary- she gets to play in the woods, and run about to her heart's content! But when she realises that her parents intend for her to marry a dreary prince, she must take matters into her own hands. She may have been born ordinary, but Princess Amy's adventures are nothing but! Is Princess Amy your #GirlHero?

Review: Favourite childhood book! - Never thought I would find this. Read it when I was 8 years old and I am now 45. Had forgotten the title and author. All i remembered was the poem, “Lavender’s Blue, Rosemary…”
Review: A must have for kids. - Love this book, but this edition has rather oldish, brownish pages. Hence deduction of one star. Unusual book from M.M. Kaye who's known for her whodunnits and historical novels based around the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857 and the the Second Anglo- Afghan war set in colonial India

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Original Fairy Tale For The Modern Day
*by A***2 on 11 November 2013*

This was the first novel I ever bought with my own pocket money (aged eight), I read and re-read it to pieces, and now I'm reading it in instalments at bedtime to my six-year-old daughter. She is soaking in every word, and doesn't want me to stop. Set in the fictional kingdom of Phantasmorania, a royal family tries inviting fairies to the christening of their beautiful seventh baby daughter, only for one bad-tempered fairy to get caught in a traffic jam and crossly give the child the gift of Ordinariness. Princess Amy is not worried about this as she grows up, but once she is of marriageable age it creates a major diplomatic issue. The king decides to hire a dragon, and lock her away in a tower to be rescued by an over-excited prince. Amy thinks this is nonsense. So she runs away..... It is beautifully written, it contains a lot of gentle mickey-taking humour that knocks the current crop of plastic Disney princesses out of the water, and this new edition contains an introduction from M. M. Kaye on how she came to write the book (after a binge-read of Andrew Lang fairy tales, apparently), and M. M. Kaye's original pencil-sketch illustrations, which are different to the ones in my childhood edition, and are absolutely lovely. Reading age 8+ years.
