Speaking of princesses, Sterling Children's books plans to release a marvelous princess themed book this June 2010 titled The Secret Lives of Princesses
by Philippe Lechermeir. I recently had a sneak peak at the work and, low and behold, the pond dwelling, frog kissing princess makes an appearance in this very interesting compilation of unusual princesses (many of them never seen before). Now I can't say much more about it, but if you think you've already read everything there is to read about princesses, this upcoming book promises to delight and surprise you with fantastical illustrations by Rebecca Dautremer. Expect a full review here at a later date!To further entice you, check out the book's website. I see a little of myself in the bookworm Princess Paige. Or become a fan on Facebook and be the first to learn when new princesses are revealed.
Sterling has graciously offered to giveaway a pack of The Secret Lives of Princesses Puzzle Cards to (10) different Brimful Curiosities readers. Each pack includes seven different cards featuring various princesses and a logic puzzle to solve. After receiving the cards the winners can visit the website and crack the code using the cards to unlock a special prize!

I always liked the name Princess Saralinda, from the 13 Clocks--two ordinary names that become magical when combined.
My favorite princess is the one from The Princess and The Pea!

Hi Janelle,
Just wanted to say thanks so much for your Fantastic Fiction contribution - I'm really pleased with how it's turned out - I hope you are too! There are already a couple of suggestions for other Frog/prince/princess stories for you to check out :-)
I love Princess Ariel but I could totally go for the name: Princess Peach from Nintendo and my dog's name.

I like Aurora in Sleeping Beauty. Her name is so different.
I have always loved Cinderella. I remember reading my Golden book about her over and over when I was a kid.
I have always thought that Princess Caroline of Monaco was my idea of what a real life princess should look like.
Thank you,
Christine

I've always loved Sleeping Beauty as Princess Aurora!
A suggestion for a princess name might be Princess Penelope.

Princess Jemma, my daughter, is always the heroine of my nightly princess stories. She's my favorite. :)
I don't have an unusual Princess name except Princess Isabella, what we call the little girl who I care for daily, but I've always loved Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Thanks for hosting a great literature giveaway!
My favorite princess is Princess Fiona from the Shrek movie!

Princess Taffy :)
Hail to the Princess Aurora!
I also liked Briar Rose
Belle was always my favorite of the Disney princesses. I mean, a princess who love books? Too perfect.
