Her Serene and Royal highness Princess Amethyst Alexandra Augusta Araminta Adelaide Aurelia Anne is quite a ordinary princess. She got her gift from the fairy godmother Crustacea who was in a very bad mood when she came to the palace to give her gift to the princess. Everyone ignores Amy and she gets the freedom to do mostly what she prefers. The wisteria branches have created a ladder for her to climb and she climbs down and goes to the forest in her free time. She meets Claudia and exchanges clothes with her and becomes a kitchen maid in her own castle. One day she finds a boy named Peregrine, a quite ordinary prince just like her. They escape royal life on Thursdays and they have much fun in the forests. In the end Amy gets married to Perey and they live as happily as you can imagine.

What's your idea of a princess? Blonde hair, blue eyes, perfect complection? Well, the young princess started out with all these things as a wonderful future was ahead of her. But then as a christening present, the grumpy fairy gives her the gift of being ordinary. Now she had brown hair, darkish eyes, and freckles! The author thinks outside the cliché box and creates Amy, the ordinary princess! When a grand scheme to marry her off could put her in danger, Amy runs off and starts a life of her own in the forest and in a different kingdom as a kitchen maid! I really recommend this book! Everyone searching for a great new fairy tale, read this book!
I haven't this book yet, Is it good?
Yes! It is a great book!
Amy is lovable precisely because she is not an average princess. I read this story for the first time a couple of years ago, and it became one of my favorite fairytales.
