About this listen

Along with Wit, Charm, Health, and Courage, Princess Amy of Phantasmorania receives a special fairy christening gift: Ordinariness. Unlike her six beautiful sisters, she has brown hair and freckles, and would rather have adventures than play the harp, embroider tapestries . . . or become a Queen. When her royal parents try to marry her off, Amy runs away and, because she's so ordinary, easily becomes the 14th assistant kitchen maid at a neighboring palace. And there…much to everyone's surprise…she meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as she is!

Middling narration

I grew up listening to a beautifully narrated abridged version of The Ordinary Princess. I was disappointed to find that this version is narrated with several pronunciation errors. Also, the narrator's American accent doesn't work with some of the writing that drops the H's from the beginning of some words. And finally, she uses a made up tune to sing "Lavenders Blue" instead of the widely known existant one. If these things will bother you, look elsewhere. Otherwise, her voice is sweet and her pacing and expression are good.

The story is, of course, all sweetness and perfection from beginning to end. An old friend.
