(4) 1-3 Princess Tales series. Illustrated by Mark Elliott. In Return, a joke-telling baker's son uses a sticky goose and a train of fools to make the princess he loves laugh. Biddle reverses and expands on the story of "The Frog Prince." Both books in this series employ flat characterizations and over-broad, often unfunny farce, but the amiable plots and ubiquitous comic fairies make a pleasant diversion. Black-and-white sketches illustrate the books. [Review covers these Princess Tales titles: The Fairy's Return and For Biddle's Sake.]
Reviewer: Anita L. Burkam
