Book Description

The king of Mwanjil kingdom, King Maminajipechatchat had a dream. The dream was a reality and his chief dream interpreter told him that its going to be a daunting task to accomplish it. When the king went to Abamakura village, a naturally rich village, the kings dream was revealed. As interpreted, a tiniest troglodyte Satkechilenkat appeared in the beautifully mountainous mountains and angrily shouted on him to go away. The king angrily went away in great disappointment after fruitless attempts to talk to the mountain man. In trying to realize his dream, he sent several letters to Satkechilenkat to come to his palace for peaceful negotiation, but he succeeded not. The king decided he will go to war against the tiniest man. Like King Saul, he consulted the gods to tell him the outcome of the war. When he consulted the gods, the gods told him the army will suffer the most humiliating defeat of their lives. The gods strongly warned him never to go to war, but as pride goes before a fall, the king deferred the godly advice, because he had greedily put his possessive eyes on the fabulously virgin village. As warned by the gods, the army truly suffered the greatest defeat in a battle of the wittiest. The tiniest mans all-important demons outfaced the kings army. Despite the disappointingly disgraceful defeats, the king never gives up. The king switched to plan C by offering his stunningly beautiful daughter, Milelamkat to ANY MAN who can kill Satkechilenkat. Acclaimed greatest warriors responded to the clarion call, but none of them succeeded in killing the wonderfully powerful man. Yet the king never wants to give up. It was Nimasa with great wisdom that solved the kings problem. Hes a great warrior of words of peace and not of lethal weapons. He finally brought Satkechilenkat to the kings palace. He proves to everybody that sincerely peaceful dialogue solves all differences without anger, let alone fighting a war. He marries the exquisitely, attractively and most beautiful princess in the greatest kingdom. They lived very, very happy thereafter.

Book Description

"In this sweeping, immersive novel, Clare McHugh draws readers into the mesmerizing world of the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria – Princess Vicky – as she emerges into a powerful force in her own right and ascends to become the first German Empress.” —Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Woman in the Room Perfect for fans of the BBC's Victoria, Alison Pataki's The Accidental Empress, and Daisy Goodwin's Victoria, this debut novel tells the gripping and tragic story of Queen Victoria’s eldest daughter, Victoria, Princess Royal. To the world, she was Princess Victoria, daughter of a queen, wife of an emperor, and mother of Kaiser Wilhelm. Her family just called her Vicky…smart, pretty, and self-assured, she changed the course of the world. January 1858: Princess Victoria glides down the aisle of St James Chapel to the waiting arms of her beloved, Fritz, Prince Frederick, heir to the powerful kingdom of Prussia. Although theirs is no mere political match, Vicky is determined that she and Fritz will lead by example, just as her parents Victoria and Albert had done, and also bring about a liberal and united Germany. Brought up to believe in the rightness of her cause, Vicky nonetheless struggles to thrive in the constrained Prussian court, where each day she seems to take a wrong step. And her status as the eldest daughter of Queen Victoria does little to smooth over the conflicts she faces. But handsome, gallant Fritz is always by her side, as they navigate court intrigue, and challenge the cunning Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, while fighting for the throne—and the soul of a nation. At home they endure tragedy, including their son, Wilhelm, rejecting all they stand for. Clare McHugh tells the enthralling and riveting story of Victoria, the Princess Royal—from her younger years as the apple of her father Albert's eyes through her rise to power atop the mighty German empire to her final months of life.

Book Description

What was it like to live as a queen in ancient Egypt, or as an Amazon warrior in western Africa? African Princess tells the stories of six remarkable royal women and the eras in which they lived, from 1473 B.C. to the present. Some lived in great luxury; others lived in exile as freedom fighters. The rise of the slave trade and the arrival of European colonists unsettled the entire continent and forced rulers to find ways to govern and protect their kingdoms. Consequently, many of these royal women ruled in extremely difficult times, marked by palace intrigue, foreign invasion, and harrowing adventure.

Book Description

Along with Wit, Charm, Health, and Courage, Princess Amy of Phantasmorania receives a special fairy christening gift: Ordinariness. Unlike her six beautiful sisters, she has brown hair and freckles, and would rather have adventures than play the harp, embroider tapestries . . . or become a Queen. When her royal parents try to marry her off, Amy runs away and, because she's so ordinary, easily becomes the fourteenth assistant kitchen maid at a neighboring palace. And there . . . much to everyone's surprise . . . she meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as she is! "This delightful fairy tale is sure to please young romantics . . . Neither Kaye's princess nor her book should be considered ordinary." (School Library Journal)

Book Description

These 30 true stories of take-charge princesses from around the world and throughout history offer a different kind of bedtime story . . . Pop history meets a funny, feminist point-of-view in these illustrated tales of “royal terrors who make modern gossip queens seem as demure as Snow White” (New York Post). You think you know her story. You’ve read the Brothers Grimm, you’ve watched the Disney cartoons, and you cheered as these virtuous women lived happily ever after. But real princesses didn’t always get happy endings—and had very little in common with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, or Ariel. Featuring illustrations by Wicked cover artist, Douglas Smith, Princesses Behaving Badly tells the true stories of famous (Marie Antoinette; Lucrezia Borgia)—and some not-so-famous—princesses throughout history and around the world, including: • Princess Stephanie von Hohenlohe, a Nazi spy. • Empress Elisabeth of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, who slept wearing a mask of raw veal. • Princess Olga of Kiev, who slaughtered her way to sainthood. • Princess Lakshmibai, who waged war on the battlefield with her toddler strapped to her back. Some were villains, some were heroes, some were just plain crazy. But none of these princesses felt constrained to our notions of “lady-like” behavior.
