Princess on the Pea. Andersen H.K.

There was a prince, and it was time for him to marry. He traveled all over the world, but did not find a suitable bride. However, sometimes what seems a distant and unattainable ideal can be hidden very close.

Andersen’s fairy tale “Princess on a pea” is filled with cheerful irony and everyday wisdom. The artist Anton Lomaev came up with illustrations for her, walking with his family in the parks of Peterhof, where the spirituality of the 18th -century baroque palaces still lives. The real princes and princesses once walked there, and even now it seems that among the green labyrinths a magnificent dress or a triangle is about to flicker or a gilded carriage will pass between the trees.
