I have read several books written by Philippa Gregory. I love them. When I saw this book in the library, I decided to give it a go. All the other books I've read were written for adults, and I realised this one is for young readers, but that never stopped me before.
The Princess Rules is three stories. A not-so-ordinary princess and her easy to get along with prince (and closest friend) tend to find trouble everywhere they go. Yes, these stories are fairy tales with a twist. They are charming and enjoyable. You'll read about dragon, wolves and giants, and adventure at every turn. I found them to be a quick and easy read. Young children, especially young girls, will love them.
