Like all good fairy tales, Princess Rose was conceived with a little magical help from he Moonbeam Fairies, who, upon hearing Queen Anne crying at the Gilded Pond, interceded and granted her wish for a child.
The Evil Magician, Astroscuiousnov, is quite the villain too. He kidnaps her and when some of his help tries to free her, he causes one great injury and the other death, and to make matters worse, he turns rose into a rose and imprisons her in a class dome which he places at the top of a light house tower. If that isn't evil, I don't know what is!
Not to worry there's a happy ending in store, or it wouldn't be a fairy tale. The prince of Aragon here's her singing and comes to her aid slaying dragons, and orges and other unpleasant things and just when you think all hope is lost you get the happily ever after.
But that's not it, because this tale is being told by a nanny to a little boy who just might be Princess Rose's young son.
I loved the twist at the end, though it is sad. This was a sweet story that can be read and enjoyed by young and old and revisited when the mood suits you. (
