Not all princesses are made of sugar and spice - some are made of funnier, fiercer stuff.

Princess Amanita laughs in the face of danger. Brakeless bicycles, pet scorpions, spiky plants - that’s her thing. So when quiet Prince Florian gives her roses, Amanita is unimpressed … until she sees their glorious thorns! Now she  must  have rose seeds of her own. But when huge, honking  noses  grow instead, what is a princess with a taste for danger to do?

For readers seeking a princess with pluck comes an independent heroine who tackles obstacles with a bouquet of sniffling noses. At once lovely and delightfully absurd, here’s a story to show how elastic ideas of beauty and princesses can be.

Dangerously Ever After
by Dashka Slater

by Angela Crocombe, Jan 2013

Not all princesses are made of sugar and spice – some of them are feisty and a little bit spiky! Princess Amanita is decidedly the second kind. She loves things that are dangerous, including her brakeless bicycle, pet scorpion and collection of broken glass. She’s also quite the green thumb, with a garden that is deemed the most dangerous in the world.

When sweet Prince Florian stumbles into the picture and attempts to impress the princess, he doesn’t realise he’s out of his depth until he makes a mess with some grenapes – grapes that explode three seconds after being picked. Amanita is very unimpressed!

Prince Florian comes from a kingdom famed for its roses. When he brings some as an apology, Princess Amanita remains distinctly indifferent until she discovers their thorns. This sets her off on an unusual and delightful adventure where she learns a little more about herself in the mix. Dangerously Ever After includes stunning illustrations by Valeria Docampo, and is captivating for its refreshing angle on the princess tale, which concludes nicely without the need for any rescues or true love.
