Once Upon a Marigold
Once Upon a Marigold | Jean Ferris
3 posts | 21 read | 4 to read
Who knew love could be so amazingand stupefying? Not Christian. He was clueless when he started spying on the royal family through his telescope. He lives in a cave with a troll for a dad, after all. If his dad had only warned him about all that mind-boggling love stuff, maybe things wouldn't be such a mess. But then, maybe, Princess Marigold would be dead. But Christian wasn't warned. And now that he's fallen for the princess, it's up to him to untwist an odd love triangleer, rectangleand foil a scheming queen who wants to take over the kingdom, even if it means bumping off her own daughter. With echoes of William Goldman's modern classic The Princess Bride, Jean Ferris's hilarious parody of "Once upon a time . . ." overflows with oddball characters and sage observationsand ends with a slapstick happily-ever-after that's full of surprises.

A troll determined to become a competitor to the Tooth Fairy (to improve business practices) finds a small boy in the forest who is determined not to go home. He stays, tinkers with inventions and when he is grown begins a pen pal relationship by carrier pigeon with Princess Marigold - there are nefarious plots, terrible jokes, machines powered by dogs and mangled figures of speech and love, of course. A pleasant fairy tale.
