Prince & Knight by Daniel Haack
4.0

This review was published on Lost in a Good Book

I love this book so much.

The story follows the same fairy tale style as you’d expect but the prince doesn’t want to choose from his line-up of princess suitors - he wants a suitor of a different kind. I love this because it maintains the fairy tale structure without diverting or changing it and instead it substitutes one character for another with no consequences.

The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. I cannot stress enough how beautiful Lewis’ illustrations are. They are colourful and full of depth and a few of them I even wanted to hang on my wall they were so wonderful.

This is a fabulous story and one I’m glad exists. It has all the classic fairy tale elements like a prince looking to marry, dragons, kingdoms in peril, everything you need but with some more diversity and representation.
