The Princess


This is no warrior princess, this is the old-fashioned, Kiss-a-Frog and he turns into a Prince (or not, see photo) type of Princess. She is quite self-involved, likes things done for her, but is essentially quite good-hearted, as a princess should be.

She has begun to have trouble lately with her two older sisters, Goneril and Regan, who always talk about how good they are to their father The King, but rarely do anything for him unless they think a lot of money and property are involved. Frankly, I'm a little worried for her.

The Princess is a classic German Kersa puppet from the 1960s, one of the first of my collection.
