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!

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!

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.

Beautiful

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!

Old favorite

I loved the tale of ordinariness and and kindness, and how it was rewarded by true love, it was so different from The Far Pavillions, but just as well written and compelling.

A delightful story!

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.

Sweet, but lacks substance
