The Wide-Awake Princess

48 pp. | Clarion | March, 2000 | Trade ISBN 0-395-53777-0 $$15.00
(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Vladimir Vagin. Princess Miranda receives the gift of being wide awake--which enables her to observe many things in her anonymous travels through her kingdom, working alongside the peasants and encouraging them to revolt against the greedy nobles. The pointed message about compassion and perception overshadows the too-long story, while Vagin's colorful, though awkward, illustrations give the tale a European flavor.
