A zase ty princezny!
Author: František Zacharník
4,76 €
Princesses do not always have to be perfect. In ... A zase ty princezny!, a perceptive grandfather tells cousins Eliška and Sára about princesses who live in castles and wear beautiful dresses but also have quite ordinary weaknesses, bad habits, and worries. František Zacharník created eight fairy tales featuring characters such as Fintilína, Koktalína, Klučína, Nalezína, and Pomalína. The imaginary world thus connects with situations and traits children may recognize from their own lives.
Cousins Eliška and Sára listen to new stories told by their grandfather. The heroines are princesses, but they are far from flawless. Each has a distinctive trait, problem, or bad habit that brings the fairy-tale world closer to children's everyday experiences. The book contains eight stories: about Princess Chlubínka, Fintilína, an old princess, Koktalína, Klučína and Prince Holčík, a princess who kept asking A proč?, Nalezína, and Pomalína. The framing narrative of Eliška, Sára, and their grandfather unites the individual tales. The first CPress edition appeared in 2014. This electronic edition has 64 pages, while the library record for the print edition lists 63 numbered pages.
The framework of the grandfather's storytelling connects the girls' experiences with the different fairy-tale personalities. The princesses' names suggest traits children may also recognize around them. The stories therefore offer space for humor and shared discussion about what it means to be imperfect.
