A king, who had three beautiful young daughters available for marriage, made the statement that any prince who could pass certain tests could marry his choice of the three. One of these princesses was a blonde, one a brunette, and one a redhead. Every prince on the continent tried to pass these tests, but in one way or another, every one of them failed.
One day Prince Charming from a far away land arrived in the kingdom on his white charger and said to the king, “I understand you have three daughters for marriage,” to which the king said, “Yes, if you pass certain tests.” Then the king explained what each of these tests were to him, and Prince Charming set out to fulfill his requirements.
A year later, he returned and told the king of all the dragons he had slain, of all the fair maidens he had rescued, and of all the battles he’d fought so valiantly and won. The king said, “Well done, my lad. You may have your choice of any of my daughters’ hands in marriage. So whose hand will you take?”
In the end he took the king because, you see, this really is a fairy story.

I actually thought that was a really lovely picture until I realised how spindly the woman is. Still, I like the style of it.
Actually, I feel the same. I am assuming that Nathan put it up here because, after all, the title is odd, to say the least. Not in what (apparently?) is the topic for adults (more ???), but just…it’s too twee for my tastes. But the imagery, I like.
I also find that I don’t hate the font, even though I ought. That kerning (the A against, well, anything) is really wince-worthy. But I still like the image and the coloration.
Liked the art – until I got to the bits with the skeleton (starting at the shoulder). Still, it could be saved. But not with those fonts.
Never with those fonts.

I was baffled as to how exactly the “for kids AND adults” thing worked, so I saw the Look Inside Amazon feature. Here’s the author’s note: “Please note that the traditional tales in this book (the first chapter in each part) are suitable for children. All other stories are intended for adult readers, and are not suitable for children.”
Because wouldn’t YOU want to read a story to your kid, send the kid away for twenty minutes so you can read, call the kid back, read a story to the kid, send the kid away again, read by yourself again, rinse and repeat? People totally read books that way.
