The Frog Prince: A Fairy Tale for Consenting Adults

There are two kinds of women: those who mary princes and those who marry frogs. The frogs never become princess, but it is an acknowledged fact that a prince may very well, in the course of an ordinary marriage, gradually, at first almost imperceptibly, turn into a frog....I want to tell you a different kind of love story, about a frog who become a prince."So begins Stephen Mitchell's adult fairy tale. The Frog Prince tells the story of a meditative frog's love for a rebellious princess, how she came to love him in spite of herself, and how he refusal to compromise helped him become who he truly was. This is a magical tale that moves (amphibiously) from to meditation and back from the outrageous to the sublime. Poignant and profound, The Frog Prince will both amuse and enlighten.
