Description:
This is the 1994 Turkish edition of The Real Princess (The Princess and the Pea) (Gerçek Prenses) by Hans Christian Andersen, published by Mini Çocuk Yayınları. The story is part of Andersen's Fairy Tales and is one of his best-known and most charming tales. It tells the story of a prince searching for a true princess and a mysterious young woman who arrives at the palace on a stormy night claiming to be one.
To determine whether she is truly a princess, the queen places a single pea beneath a great pile of mattresses and feather beds.

With its playful premise and gentle humour, the story explores ideas of authenticity, sensitivity and what it means to be “real.”
