Her mother died in a bombing and Emma is literally caught between the Germans and Allies as they battle it out to control the North Sea ports. One would expect a story like the frog prince to be rife with magic and fairies and princes but the story of the frog prince is almost a gloss over the true story of the book.Įmma is a British aristocrat that got trapped in her mother's ancestral home in Belgium on the Western Front in World War I. This book felt much less like a fairytale than some of the others I have read so far. This is the third book I've read in the series and I continue to be impressed with the level of storytelling they provide. I have really begun to like the 'Once upon a Time' series with it's interesting retellings of standard fairy tales in unconventional settings that I wouldn't have dreamed of.
