Princess stories

Classic tales of princesses: enchantments, brave hearts and happy-ever-afters, free to read online with no account needed.

In the older tellings the princesses rarely wait. One feels a pea through twenty mattresses and is believed because of it; another makes a careless promise to a frog and her father holds her to it. These retellings leave that as it stands.

The collection is therefore wider than the name suggests. Some suit a four-year-old who came for the dress and the castle, others a ten-year-old who notices the stepmother has a reason.

Each shows an age range and a reading time. Where an older, unsoftened version exists, it has its own page and is labelled.
