The Princess and the Pea!! by Peta
As Tamara has a lovely collection of long skirts as well as shoes, I couldn't resist putting some shoes into this traditional fairytale about a Princess and a pea! In the traditional story the Princess wakes up in the morning after sleeping on a huge pile of mattresses and informs her hosts, the Prince's parents, that she could feel a pea under her many mattresses and this somehow proves she is a 'real' Princess! However in this re-telling she doesn't notice that she has slept on a pile of mattresses with not only a pea but with shoes pushed between them!!
The cover of Tamara's beautiful little book is simply beautiful!
Is that Little Red Riding Hood coming out of an outhouse?? Tamara's spread in her own book Fractured Faery Tales.
Lindesay's page in Fractured Faery Tales is a very clever take on Jack and the Beanstalk!
