Will poor, scrawny Marvin win Princess Vera's heart? An opinionated, love–starved princess. Her status–conscious parents. Two muscular, but rude, hunks. Their kind, thoughtful brother. Three not–so–perfect peaches. An impossible challenge. And a whole lot of rabbits! Told from the point of view of a very untraditional fairy, this hilarious version of “The Three Peaches” shines a new light on the traditional tale and features a unique narrative voice and madcap illustrations. As in all good fairy tales, the vain, rude characters get their comeuppance, the fairy works her magic, and the princess gets her prince. So he's a little on the skinny side–he has a big heart. (The heart is a muscle too, you know.) Everything else is fair game in this side–splitting take on the classic formula. ISBN–10: 0618714685 ISBN–13: 978–0618714681
