Tale Notes
This tale is interesting because it is in the form of poetry. It is quite short, and is heavily illustrated. This story is very sweet and starts with the prince's kiss, and ends with a celebration. No mention is made of how the princess came to be in this condition, and no harm is threatened to the princess.
