The Practical Princess Guide by Libby Hamilton, Faye Simms and Aleksei Bitskoff

Girls who imagine how wonderful it would be to become a princess can stop dreaming and get practical - that's how modern princesses are made! Find out the various paths to becoming royal, look at the different types of princess you can be, explore the Pampered Princess Emporium that sells everything a budding royal lady needs and then take the Princess Test to see if you've got what it takes to make it to the top!

A modern palace can be built high rather than wide, so you can live in royal style even in the most crowded city.

To be a wise ruler, read as often as you can in your well-stocked library.

Every Princess needs a place in their palace to be alone so they can relax in their pajamas, eat chocolate and watch all of their favourite films.

“We are all in search of feeling more connected to reality—to other people, the times we live in, the natural world, our character, and our own uniqueness. Our culture increasingly tends to separate us from these realities in various ways. We indulge in drugs or alcohol, or engage in dangerous sports or risky behavior, just to wake ourselves up from the sleep of our daily existence and feel a heightened sense of connection to reality. In the end, however, the most satisfying and powerful way to feel this connection is through creative activity. Engaged in the creative process we feel more alive than ever, because we are making something and not merely consuming, Masters of the small reality we create. In doing this work, we are in fact creating ourselves.”
