Princess and the Pea with Macedonian Translation

The satirical tale "The Princess and the Pea" was an old Swedish tale, rewritten and published by Hans Christian Andersen in 1835. This popular tale is written in a light, colloquial style, reminiscent of oral storytelling techniques. It tells the story of a princess who prooves her royalty status by being overly dramatical and sensitive. The hand-drawn ink illustrations show this whimsical world where princesses can act like princesses and get rewarded for it by marrying the handsome prince.

The illustrations are by the Macedonian-born artist Biljana Kroll and the story is narrated/translated in both English and Macedonian. The beautiful piano music was played by the Bulgarian-born master pianist Lilia Stoytcheva.
