The Ugly Princess

Sommer-Time Story Classics

This lovely tale tells the story of Princess Isabella, who is greatly loved by her parents happy and carefree until she overhears girls making fun of her large nose and ears. Miserable and ashamed, she quits playing and hides in the palace. Nothing can sway Isabella's feelings of ugliness and sadness until an old woman reminds her that giving love to others brings deep happiness. Isabella listens and helps unfortunate people in the kingdom. Through her unselfish actions, she gains self-esteem and grows into a happy compassionate adult. When it comes time to choose someone to marry, she looks for a wise and kind husband, rather than focusing on appearance. Listeners of this illuminating story learn how Isabella by loving others gains self-esteem, and how she finds the ideal suitor.
