(3) K-3 Illustrated by Irina Dobrescu. A snobbish princess, who will not deign to marry any of the noblemen presented to her by her father, must marry a beggar who tries to humble her in many ways. The surprise ending is satisfying, and the amusing illustrations, full of caricatures of royals and commoners alike, nicely play off this story formally retold by an unnamed translator.
