Today on Quick Classics for Kids, we’re reading Hans Christian Andersen’s beloved fairy tale, “The Princess and the Pea.”
This short and charming story tells of a young woman who arrives at a castle on a rainy night, claiming to be a princess. To test her royal claim, the queen places a single pea under twenty mattresses. Only a true princess, so delicate and sensitive, could feel the pea through all those layers.
It’s short, whimsical, and has been a favorite of children for nearly 200 years
