Storybook Favorites


Visit "The Forgotten Princess




Like all great stories the author began with once upon a time...

One of my favorite stories thus far is "Forgotten But Not Gone: The Angry Princesses." The tittle caught my attention. I was certain that the stories would be funny and they did not disappoint me. The story is introduced by Princess Jasmine. Her character reminded me of one of the snotty over privileged girls from the movie "Mean Girls." Each princess's story is told individually. Princess Jasmine tells the story of the Goose-Girl. The story seems to combine the fabled tell of Cinderella and Rapunzel while keeping the "Mean Girls" spirit. Then Princess Belle tells the story of the Princess of Pearls whos fiancé waved her dowry because she could produce endless jewels. Cinderella introduces the Princess of Glass. She makes mention of problems and language that might affect the modern day princesses as if it were common place in her life. Follow the link above and introduce yourself to the forgotten princesses.



The Abiding Diary contains four untold stories. The diary was given to Prince Stefan by his father on his eighteenth birthday. Prince Stefan wished to marry a maiden that had found her way in the branches of his apple tree. This was no ordinary apple tree and she was no ordinary maiden. The tree produced golden apples and she was a swan maiden. The diary is owned by different individuals throughout time. Each new owner has the privilege of reading the previous owners entries and adding their own. To discover if Prince Stefan married his swan maiden or how Maria survived her evil stepmother in Maria and The Seven Robbers follow the link below.

  1. Aha, this is great: you have found two examples of that diary style, which is a really fun style to play with. Maybe you will want to write a story in diary style next week!

    I'm not quite sure why your text is showing up on a white background, but there's a super-easy way to fix that in Blogger: open the post for editing, click inside the post, then click Control-A to highlight everything, and then click the Tx button on the editing bar: it means Text-Clean ("x" means to remove all the formatting). That will reset the text to the format and colors of your blog, and then you can make whatever adjustments you want using the Blogger editor. Here's more about how that works: Formatting Blog posts

  2. Thank you, I have been trying to get rid of the white background behind my text for two days. I don't like the way it makes things look disconnected.
