This week, we're talking about The Princess and the Pea. One of my favorite faerytales. Peas are not "romantic" maybe, but the idea that a Princess cannot hide her beautiful essence - she is who she is regardless of her outward appearance... *sigh*
Of course, Hans Christian Anderson makes her sound like she's obnoxiously picky, which could be interpreted "brat", but I'm stickin' with my imagined version. He (Hans) wrote a Swedish tale passed down, so who's to say how it really started?
We begin with a girl in a Downpour who claims to be a Princess... but she doesn't look like one. The dissolutioned Queen Mother & Prince Royal come up with a plan to prove her identity...
1 - Alone in the Dark
2 - Seeking Shelter

3 - Seeking Companionship

4 - Facing Strange Kindness

5 - Planting the Pea

6 - Grateful, but... still alone.

7 - No Comfort Found

8 - Nor Sleep

9 - Deceptive Hospitality.
10 - Ouch!

11 - Admit to not sleeping?

12 - Claim Royal blood?

13 - Confronting the Hosts

14 - Compainship Found

15 - The Peas are Displayed
