So when the Royal Palace holds a competition to find A PERFECT PRINCESS, Molly enters it. Molly looks the part with her knee-length hair and fine new clothes but can she pass the princess tests? The pea in the mattress, the awful mother-in-law, the dangerous spinning wheel!

Or is it blue-eyed Stan the blacksmith she's left behind at the farm?
"The Practical Princess is a story with a moral but lightly done and it proves a wonderful opportunity for young readers to spot all the other traditional tales that feature princesses. A lovely funny warm hearted story." * www.writeaway.org.uk *
