More or less? I decided to upend the classic 'prince rescues princess from dragon' and now I have a story planned wherein a prince rescues a dragon from a princess.

There was a young girl in black robes. Her long, ashen hair blew in the wind, for her pointy hat had blown off and was clutched in her hand.

The Price of Beauty in Fairy Tales
My perspective as a child:
- The princess must be kissed, whether asleep or in a coffin. Without being asked. Yuck.
- The princess must marry the prince. Oh no.
- The prince in tights gets all the adventures, while she’s denied them. Unfair.
- Beauty isn’t a gift—it’s a cage.
I don't want to be beautiful mummy!

The Dreamer of Dreams by the Queen of Roumania, illustrated by Edmund Dulac. First edition, Hodder & Stoughton 1916.
An enchanting volume, luminous from the very cover. The illustrations are as evocative as the story itself.
It is a tale of a court painter who paints for the King. In the portrait he is creating, only the Queen’s eyes are missing. In a dream, he beholds a woman’s face with eyes he can never forget. Frustrated, he is haunted by the knowledge that he cannot paint those eyes unless he sees them in reality.
He sets out on a dreamlike quest to seek her out.
