![]() ![]() “The Princess and the Frog” concerns Rana and her unexpected alliance with a small, green, flipper-footed denizen of a pond in the palace gardens. ![]() So begins “The Stolen Princess,” the first story of this collection, about the meeting between the human princess Linadel and the faerie prince Donathor. There is nothing to show a boundary, at least on the mortal side of it and if any ordinary human creature ever saw a faerie-or at any rate recognized one-it was never mentioned but the existence of the boundary and of faeries beyond it is never in doubt either. ![]() The last mortal kingdom before the unmeasured sweep of Faerieland begins has at best held an uneasy truce with its unpredictable neighbor. From ensorcelled princesses to a frog that speaks, an enchanting collection of fairy tales from the Newbery Medal–winning author. ![]()
