The Princess and the Pea by Hans Christian Anderson follows the traditional story of the Princess and the pea. To test if she is a true princess the queen put a pea under twenty mattresses and twenty featherbeds. In the morning the princess had not slept because she could feel the pea. This is how they know she is a true princess. The story is written with short sentences. Also, the author is very descriptive. The style of writing makes the story very easy to follow. no reviews | add a review
