The queen is fed up with her single son; she wants him to marry a princess and become king. He rejects princess after princess, until a final princess walks in accompanied by her prince brother...and the brother stirs the first prince's heart. Wonderful illustrations, sweet story, and the two princes marry and live happily ever after (with no objection from the queen)--however, I'm not completely thrilled with the depictions of the stereotypically "unattractive" princesses the prince rejects. I'd rather it be made clear repeatedly that NO princess, however beautiful, could move our prince.
