Prince Nicolai and the Empty Box - Hardcover

by Peggy Pilkey (Author)

Prince Nicolai, sole heir to the crown, must become engaged before his twenty-first birthday--a mere week away--or face a penalty for disobeying the law of the land. His parents, eager to be helpful, write the names of their friends' eligible daughters on slips of paper and ask him to draw one from a hat. He refuses. Believing he has not yet met his one true love, he plans a party, setting in motion a fanciful idea to find his soulmate. This picture book has all the elements of a traditional fairy tale, with just enough hints of more modern sensibilities to make it contemporary and original. The quirky and whimsical illustrations are sure to delight readers of all ages.
