AHAKOThe 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!

Fairy tale illustrationsThe 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.
