In these clever fairy tale retellings, Philippa Gregory's princesses are anything but passive. They outwit suitors, outmaneuver tyrannical parents, and boldly forge their own paths to happiness. Behind the playful, irreverent tone lies a thoughtful examination of female agency and the constraints of royal life. Gregory's princesses are complex, fully realized characters who learn to embrace their strength and reshape their destinies. Readers will be charmed by these boundary-pushing tales.
