This has to be the most hilarious fairy tale that I have ever read! Not only is it very, very funny, but it is also very very naughty too.The pure and virginal Princess Amalia is plagued by the presence of a penis growing in her bed. She tells her parents about it, and the King does everything in his power to get rid of the rogue penis. The mattress is destroyed. The bed frame is destroyed. The Princess's bed is moved to teh almost inaccessible tower.
In the meantime, a marriage of convenience is arranged with the Prince from a neighboring, rich kingdom.
The Princess's aunts investigate and try to help.
Chaos ensues.
More hilarity ensues.
And there is an unexpected ending. Well, not if you are an aficionado of fairy stories, maybe.
This is a quick read, and I am sure that you will all love it.
Hugely recommended!
