100 Futons, 1 Grain of Rice (6)
The great king O-Shishiki would like to find a queen and bride, but none have been sensitive enough - that is until he meets Princess Mimosa, who left her kingdom having been accused of being 'too sensitive' by her wicked parents. When Mimosa undergoes a test devised by the king to prove her worth, O-Shishiki finds that he is the one that is insensitive! This is a retelling of The Princess & the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen. Still told in a classic fairytale style, the story has been expanded upon, and highlights the merits of being a sensitive person. It is given new life with beautiful illustrations that emerge onto the page from the mists of Japan.
