Beautiful cross-hatching watercolor pencil illustrations,
showcasing an epic variety of peevish, tantruming, petulant, unhappy,
SPOILT facial expressions. Oddly enough, none of the illustrations show
an eye-color for the princess, which is interesting given how detailed
they are otherwise. Interesting artistic choice.
On the textual side, this
is a faithful adaptation, with the bed-sharing request and the
resulting temper-tantrum and frog-flinging that entails. In a slightly
offbeat inclusion, Faithful Henry is there at the end, but nowhere
else.
Also, super-hot metrosexual prince! Not many attractive
illustrated princes in these books.
