Aryan Tomar, Class VII D
This book by Christopher Healy, is a mix of some very popular fairy tales… with a twist. In most fairy tales we read, the princesses get to be the stars while all their knights in shining armor are mostly shunned. Almost all of them are referred to as Prince Charming. Not in this book.
This book is a newer version of the fairy tales from our childhood. All the princes of Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White and Rapunzel are specifically named as Prince Liam of Erinthia, Prince Frederic of Harmonia, Prince Duncan of Sylvaria and Prince Gustav of Sturmhagen respectively. The book is humorous and sees the princes in awkward situations like being captured by bandits, sat on by trolls and even in the middle of an actual bar fight. All the princes have different personalities like the elegant Frederic, the courageous Liam, the somewhat weird Duncan and the gruff Gustav.
The book sees the princes trying to earn a name for themselves to make a reputation for themselves in an attempt to stop a witch from taking over all their kingdoms in a chance to prove themselves as heroes.
The book is a must read for all Shishyans and will be accompanied with many humorous moments.
