Indecisiveness proves to be the downfall of the princess who issues (in rhyme) a series of tasks to the shepherd boy who wishes to marry her, for, having satisfied all her whims and wishes, her suitor finds his true love in an ordinary country girl who knows her own mind. The telling is nothing out of the ordinary but Glenys Ambrus's fresh, detailed pictures give a touch of zest and humour to the book.
