Three of the Newbery Honor author's masterful retellings of classic fairy tales are presented together in this omnibus volume.

Once upon a time...

• A kind sister and a cruel one. A charming prince. A spiteful fairy. A hundred-year snooze. A pea under a pile of mattresses. A kiss.*All the familiar ingredients, but why is the punished sister happy? Where did that extra prince come from, and what does a flock of balding sheep or a fleck of tuna in a chocolate cake have to do with anything?

Gail Carson Levine has waved her magic wand over three well-known fairy tales, and presto! They are transformed -- and sparklingly funny-in these delightful retellings:* The Fairy's Mistake

The Princess Test

Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep * Happily ever after has never been so hilarious!
