The Mucky princess

and other stories, by Richard Cleveland

Written originally for my granddaughter, ‘The Mucky Princess’ was conceived as an antidote to what might be called the ‘Pretty (and rather helpless) Princess’.

The Princess is “good looking”, as one of the characters says, but not beautiful or pretty. She is of indeterminate ethnicity and most certainly knows her own mind. In short a modern universal ‘princess’ who follows her own path and for whom all things are possible.

The narrative is traditional Fairy Tale, with many familiar characters and moral message, but the Princess and the outcomes have a treatment that is far from traditional. As friend of mine put it, “A feminist fairy story”, and not just for girls. But it’s not a lecture it’s fun; read it for what it is and let the other things travel with you on the Princess’s journey.

Audio Books in Production!

September 08, 2016  /  Richard Cleveland

The Mucky Princess will soon be available to download as audio files!

Thanks to the assistance of our wonderful narrator, Rebecca Courtney, and a lot of time editing, we are nearing completion of all three books as audio recordings. Rebecca is a professional voice over with her own voice studio. She has degree in performing arts and has many years professional experience in the business including working for CBeebies. 

We must also give thanks to the very talented (and patient) musician Jonathan Graham who created our fun theme music. 

All the audiobooks will be available through Audible and iTunes.

We hope you enjoy!
