      About This Book

      This hilarious retelling of The Princess and the Pea with a Wild West twist is perfect for a read-aloud!

      Farethee Well is a woman of strong mind and bodacious beauty, but when suitors come to ask for her hand in marriage, can she tell a real cowboy from a fake?
       

      "This excellent retelling of Andersen's The Princess and the Pea . . . is by far the most original to come along in the past few years."—School Library Journal
       
      "Johnston's clever parody is rich with the language and details of the Wild West. Ludwig's colorful illustrations heighten the story's exaggerated humor . . . A great choice for a read-aloud."—Booklist
