About this listen

Along with Wit, Charm, Health, and Courage, Princess Amy of Phantasmorania receives a special fairy christening gift: Ordinariness. Unlike her six beautiful sisters, she has brown hair and freckles, and would rather have adventures than play the harp, embroider tapestries . . . or become a Queen. When her royal parents try to marry her off, Amy runs away and, because she's so ordinary, easily becomes the 14th assistant kitchen maid at a neighboring palace. And there…much to everyone's surprise…she meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as she is!

This is my all time Favorite Princess story ❤️

I had this book as a book on tape as a child and absolutely Love it! When I saw it on Audible I couldn't resist. I have two daughters that I wanted to introduce to Princess Amy. The Ordinary Princess is a wonderful story. It doesn't really follow the traditional fairy tale story line, but that is what I love best about it! The woman who narrated did a great job! I keep this book downloaded on my phone so I can listen to it anytime. My daughter's love it too!

One of My Favs!

This story has been one of my favorites since I was a kid. I loved it sooo much that it was the 1st audible title I ever purchased (for a road trip for my daughter) . . .

Beautiful

I love this story. It is a beautiful telling of what would happen if a princess was an ordinary girl. I liked listening to the story but the hard copy version has illustrations that really make the book.

Old favorite

I read this story when I first started reading chapter books, it was a perfect fairy story. Thought of it recently and the voice actor sounds just like the narrator did in my head. And it’s still a perfectly wonderful happy story!

A very sweet story

A heart warming short story. Enough to keep the kids quiet on a long road trip.

Sweet, but lacks substance

Any additional comments?

I like books that adults and children can share. This was not one of them. There is not a lot of depth. It's a simple story. Good for little girls and for building self-esteem.
