From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| Jay Williams's Petronella, originally published in 1973 in Parents magazine, is a princess tale with a twist. Royal-born Petronella, kind, brave and resourceful, goes in search of her prince and finds an enchanter instead. Shades of Parzival and Baba Yaga lore find their way into the story (e.g., her act of kindness releases an old man from a curse; enchanted everyday objects help her make her getaway). Margaret Organ-Kean's opening portraits of the royal family and the pristine castle in which they live are standouts, but the princess herself and her suitors appear to be rather homely. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| It isn't just the gender role reversal that is appealing but that the heroine does what is in her heart and mind....a suitable message for young people...one doesn't always have to adhere to traditions and do what is expected in one's search for happiness. |
