In this prequel to The Ugly Princess and the Wise Fool, Irwin of Coriander wants to be a hero, but he is incapable of properly boasting or swaggering, so instead settles for selling caramels. When he attracts the attention of the princess--and her wicked witch sister--Irwin's true nature is revealed. Humorous pencil drawings enhance this silly fairy-tale spoof.

Rose, Princess of Couscous, is a nontraditional princess. She has a great personality but is not pretty. When she wishes for beauty, adventures ensue. This entertaining fairy-tale spoof--generously illustrated with whimsical pencil drawings--is full of humorous wordplay, clever plot twists, and well-developed characters.
