Grimm Brothers – The Princess and the Pea (Bezelye Prenses) – Bordo Siyah Yayınevi 2011 Edition – Turkish
Description:
This is the 2011 Turkish edition of The Princess and the Pea (Bezelye Prenses) by the Brothers Grimm, published by Bordo Siyah Yayınevi. The story tells of a prince searching for a true princess. One stormy night, a young woman arrives at the palace claiming to be a princess, and the queen secretly places a single pea beneath a large stack of mattresses and feather beds. The following morning, the young woman reveals that she had slept terribly and felt something hard beneath her, proving that she is a true princess.
The tale is particularly interesting because the familiar “Princess and the Pea” story is most famously associated with Hans Christian Andersen, who published his version in 1835. The Brothers Grimm also included a related tale, “The Pea Test,” in their 1843 collection, although it was later removed from subsequent editions. This long and sometimes intertwined literary history has resulted in numerous adaptations and retellings over the years.
For collectors, this 2011 Bordo Siyah Yayınevi edition is particularly appealing for its numerous interior illustrations created by Turkish illustrator Mustafa Delioğlu. His artwork gives the book a distinctive visual identity specific to this Turkish publication, making it a unique Turkey-only collectible. The combination of the familiar fairy-tale theme, Turkish-language text and original artwork by a Turkish illustrator makes this edition an attractive addition to collections of classic fairy tales, Turkish children's literature and illustrated editions.
