Robin Hood Fan? Look No Further!An infamous thief faces his greatest challenge yet when he is pitted against forty-nine princes and the queen of a kingdom with an unnatural obsession with legumes. Sleeping on top of a pea hidden beneath a pile of mattresses? Easy. Faking a singing contest? He could do that in his sleep. But stealing something precious out from under “Old Maid” Marian’s nose . . . now that is a challenge that even the great Robin Hood might not be able to surmount.When Robin Hood comes up with a scheme that involves disguising himself as a prince and participating in a series of contests for a queen’s hand, his Merry Men provide him their support. Unfortunately, however, Prince John attends the contests with the Sheriff of Nottingham in tow, and as all of the Merry Men know, Robin Hood’s pride will never let him remain inconspicuous. From sneaking peas onto his neighbors’ plates to tweaking the noses of prideful men like the queen’s chamberlain, Robin Hood is certain to make an impression on everyone attending the contests. But whether he can escape from the kingdom of Clorinda with his prize in hand before his true identity comes to light is another matter entirely.˃˃˃The Prince and the Peas is a quirky novel you won't soon forget!Chambers shook off his shock, and examining Robin more closely than he had before, he said, “Just so that everything is clear, I shall spell out what is expected from Your Highness’s time in Her Majesty’s castle. Queen Marian is holding a set of contests over several weeks to determine who shall become her husband. During that time, princes shall be continually ejected from not only the series of contests, but also the castle.” He gave Robin a look that indicated he believed this fate would befall him almost immediately. “Since winter is upon us, all princes shall be welcomed into inns in the capital, where they may wait until it is safe to return home.”“Understood,” Robin said.Chambers gave him a knowing smile. “I know just what establishment in Clorin I will recommend for you.”What do you get when you mix a bag of peas, a large dollop of princes, a big stack of mattresses, and a heaping helping of Merry Men? Why, The Princes and the Peas, of course! If you're a fan of Robin Hood or fairy tales or just want a fun read, scroll up and immerse yourself in the fun of The Princes and the Peas. 3
