CLICK TO PURCHASE! All a Princess needs is a happily ever after, isn’t it? After all, it’s the traditional way. Princess Beauty is a captive. She’s just waiting for her Knight in Shining Armor to come and rescue her from the Tower of the Beast Most Foul. So far, all of her would-be-rescuers have been beaten by the Foul Beast, until one day a knight actually manages to rescue her and at last she can hope for her freedom. At last she can go back to her family. At last, she may even be claimed by the Knight in Shining Armor and be married. At last, a truly traditional happy every after may happen. It’s just that some traditions may have to be broken.

Everyone loves a fairy story, ever since they were young. I have always enjoyed having fairy tales read to me before I went to sleep. Well, dear reader, this is one fairy story you are not going to be reading to your children. G J Woodrum has planted her tongue firmly in her cheek and has written an absolutely delightful story with a very twisted ending that will, I hope, surprise you as much as it surprised me. I literally laughed out loud when I finished reading it. This is a perfectly short, complete read when you’ve only got a few minutes. A delightful short story that is worth the whole dollar that it costs. This is a very talented author and I can guarantee you will want to read the other works she has with this publisher.
