In our second week discussing The Princess and the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen, Drew and Cassie are taking a look at The Princess Test by Gail Carson Levine, the third in her middle grade series called The Princess Tales. This quick little book centers on Lorelei, a blacksmith's daughter who is born with extreme sensitivity, who falls in love with Prince Nicholas, whose parents want to abdicate their thrones. Nicholas's parents insist Nicholas must marry a true princess and thus put 79 princesses - and Lorelei - through a series of ridiculous tests to determine who is worthy of their son. We discuss the other books in the series, the series's writing style, a modern way to interpret Lorelei's sensitivity, Gilmore Girls, the lorelei of German folklore, the terrible princess tests, the Crocodile Princess, and more! Plus we make a very special announcement at the end that you won't want to miss!
