Product Information

Anthropomorphic Food: In “I Want a Bedtime Story!”, the King tells the Princess a story about a naughty, living sandwich, while the Gardener tells one about a carrot who’s afraid of the dark.

Real After All: In "I Want My Light On", the adults insist that ghosts don't exist, but at the end, two ghosts are seen at the top of the castle. Comically Missing the Point: In “I Want a Sister”, the Queen announces she’s pregnant by saying that there’s going to be “someone new in our family”. The Princess responds, “Oh goody! We’re going to get a dog!”. I don’t feel I’m in my 80s. All my limbs work, I’ve never broken a bone. But my future is not as big and sprawling and adventurous as it was when I was 20. That’s what I dislike most about my age.Age-Appropriate Angst: Little Princess makes a big deal out of things, but lots of preschoolers do. I’ve had three marriages and they were all happy. The people I married have all been faultless. It was me that was wrong. I was my own worst enemy. I’m not the easiest person to get on with: sometimes irrational, sometimes self-centred. I have a lot of problems like that. They’re my problems and I recognise them.

Self-Deprecation: In “I Want a Bedtime Story!”, the Prime Minister tells a story about his big nose, that stars him as an anthropomorphic elephant. Not related to Alice Soft's Little Princess, and in fact targets a completely different audience. Not to be mistaken with A Little Princess, The Little Prince or LilPri. Not to be confused with Little Miss Princess, even if both are British. Lost Food Grievance: A monster in “I Want My Dinner!” yells, “Hey, that’s my dinner!”, then throws a tantrum and yells the title of the book, after the Princess steals its dinner. Playing House: In “I Want a Boyfriend!”, the Princess wants to play house with her “boyfriend” Donald as the husband and the pets as the kids. Neat Freak: In “I Want to Go Home”, the Duchess of Somewhereorother vacuums the lawn every day and doesn’t want cake crumbs dropped on it.Technicolor Science: In “I Want to Win!”, the Princess and a boy named Darren try to do chemistry using multicoloured liquids. Little Princess lives in the Kingdom along with her family and friends, Maid, General, Admiral, Gardener, Prime Minister, Chef, Puss and Scruff plus many more characters.
