Synopsis

Jean Ferris overturns fairy tale clichés in an offbeat, hilariously quirky novel that's part comedy, part love story, and part everything-but-the-kitchen-sink.

Publishers Weekly

A boy raised by a troll decides to see the world one day and discovers that lovely Princess Marigold, with whom he has corresponded, is about to become betrothed. "The author breathes new life into archetypal characters by adding unexpected and often humorous dimensions to their personalities," wrote PW. Ages 10-up. (June) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
