Daughter of the King

“But, Mr. Author, why do you always write about princesses?”  “Because every little girl is a princess.”  “You will make them vain if you tell them that.”  “Not if they understand what I mean.”  “Then what do you mean?”  “What do you mean by a princess?”  “The daughter of a king.”  “Very well, then every little girl is a princess, and there would be no need to say anything about it, except that she is always in danger of forgetting her rank, and behaving as she had grown out of the mud.  I have seen little princesses behave like the children of thieves and lying beggars, and that is why they need to be told they are princesses.” (9)

The Princess and the Goblin, by George MacDonald

And yes, I’m hoping to do a book review of this, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet.  Sorry.

Happy Wednesday!!! 🙂
