Description
This short play by the author of Winnie the Pooh, is a droll little fairy tale about a princess who *isn't* beautiful. At her christening she was blessed by her Great-Aunt Malkin with this enigmatic rhyme: *"I give you with this kiss A wedding day surprise. Where ignorance is bliss 'Tis folly to be wise."* She has now grown up into a happy and healthy young woman, but she is undeniably plain. All the courtiers must tread warily around the subject of this most unheard of misfortune, and her royal father and mother scheme and plot how to marry her off. Although only seven actors are required, it is bursting with witty dialogue and brings to life the whole castle. Irresistible fun!
