What is a Hero Princess?

Journey with Fairer than a Fairy, a true, epic hero, as she learns the meaning of justice in the context of friendship and inner strength. She is a hero worthy of consideration and emulation, passed down to us in story form for over 800 years. The power of her example is how she remains relevant in modern day! The authentic version of the tale is about environmental justice as the Ogre Locrinos is polluting the forest, and Fairer than a Fairy and the Rainbow Prince must save the trees. She meets three different trees on her adventure quest, along with her companions, talking animals Kitty and Mr. Fox. Readers will fall in love with Mr. Fox! A magical bluebird will also join the quest. Their quest makes this environmental fiction. She must overcome the power of the monster Locrinos and also the dark fairy Lagree who first kidnapped and imprisoned her when she was a little girl.
