She compares herself to fairy-tale princesses like Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. She describes her castle and the smell of the moat to keep out unwanted visitors. She explains the lack of light and how the rooms of the castle can be dark and gloomy. She does not sing to forest animals, but she rides her horse and practices archery. A prince does not rescue her, but an arranged marriage for her is planned by her parents to happen by age twelve. She sleeps on an ordinary bed of straw, hears a story from her sister, and dreams of being an ordinary girl. The story reveals real details of what it was like to in the time of the middle ages. Unlike the fairy-tales we all know and love it was real life, without lights, puffy dresses, and cleanliness. The illustrations clearly show the difference between a fairy-tale princess and a medieval princess. The art is spread across the page on some pages, and within a frame on others. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"A comparison of the life of a fairy tale princess vs. that of a real medieval princess"--
"Did you ever wish to be a princess? Have you ever wanted to wear a pretty pink gown, sing to your forest animal friends, and attend a fancy fairy-tale ball? Then meet Beatrice--she represents what being a princess in the Middle Ages was really like. Pink gown? More like itchy wool! Sing to animals? Think archery and horseback riding instead. Beatrice's life is no fairy tale, but she will show you that fact can sometimes be more fascinating than fantasy. This humorous, brightly illustrated book offers an irresistible comparison of fairy tale vs. real life in medieval times"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
