Prince & Knight by Daniel Haack
5.0

When I first saw this book, I very much wanted to read it. There are not very many fairy tales that do not focus on the stereotypical princess and her dashing knight.

The titular prince after meeting prospective princess brides decides he is "looking for something specials in a partner by my side." It doesn't focus on the politics of male/male vs. male/female; it is about finding a love that fits with you, no matter who they happen to be.

Some of the meters of the verses seem a bit forced and don't quite flow smoothly (but never did the course of true love). But overall, a much welcomed, and dare I say needed, addition to the catalog of fairy tales. Long live, and love, the Prince & Knight.
