Description

This is a wee fairytale created by a little girl with a great love of stories and poems. It starts classically and tells of a king who wants to make sure his daughter is loved for who she is and not just for her background. The beauty and purity are in how the hero is someone who overcomes the odds and remains steadfast in his quest for love. It is a heartfelt tale and the symbolism throughout is the very essence of the writer herself.
