backcover text:
"If I might make a suggestion,Your Majesty," said the Lord High Chamberlain nervously, "Suppose we hired a dragon t-to lay waste the countryside? We might then imprison Her Royal Highness in a tower and send out a proclamation to say that any prince who slew the dragon should be rewarded by the Princess's hand in marriage. I venture to think, Your Majesty," said the Lord High Chamberlain more nervously than ever, "that this might have the ... er .. desired effect."
At Her Royal Highness the Princess Amethyst Alexandra Augusta Araminta Adelaide Aurelia Anne's christening party,her bad-tempered fairy godmother, Crustacea, gave the baby a curious gift. "You shall be Ordinary!" cried Crustacea. And young Princess Amy was certainly oridnary: mousy hair, a snub nose and freckles. She didn't look like a real princess at all. And not a single prince wanted to marry her.
The King and Queen were at their wits' end. The Lord High Chamberlain came up with desperate measures ...
But the Ordinary Princess had plans ofher own.

I read the German translation quite quite a long time ago, re-read it in meantime several times and like to give it (in German and English language) to my friends.

This one I bought extra vor the "Never-Won-A-Sweepstake" after I found out by looking at the winners wishlist, that I don't have anything like his/her present taste and hope this pearl of literature will find a new fan at this way.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:

Underway to the Sweepstake-Winner

It took me a while to organize this book. As I couldn't find anything from your wishlist I decided to send you one of my all-time-favourites. It's such a fantastic farytale which each adult will enjoy - reading for themself, reading it to his/her children or grandchildren. I hope you'll like this little book.
