The Princess and the Pea
This fairy tale is often talked about in our family
April 2: International Children’s Book Day (Hans Christian Anderson’s birthday) (Kaili Bisson) What’s your favourite Hans Christian Anderson story?
Well, of course, I love The Ugly Duckling like everyone else. It’s the one that’s the most read because Baby T. is obsessed with ducks, but the one that’s bandied about by my daughters is The Princess and the Pea.
My daughters and I have travelled together frequently, and if anyone dare complain about their bed, or they didn’t have a good sleep, the retort is, “So you’re not a princess after all?” I am never the princess because I sleep like a log wherever I am. I’ve never had an uncomfortable hostel bed nor had a dorm mate whose snoring kept me awake.
