To Be a Princess
by Hugh Brewster and Laurie Coulter
Paintings by Laurie McGaw

More fascinating than any fairy tale . . .

Magnificent palaces . . . golden coaches . . . glittering court balls . . .

They’re all part of a royal princess’s world. But sometimes war, revolution, and tragedy are part of it as well. The stories of twelve real princesses show us that life is really like behind the palace walls – from Russia to Hawaii to India to England.
