  • Introduction

    Frequently, like in the fairy tales Snow White and Cinderella, princes are portrayed as brave and adventurous while princesses are dependent, waiting for the prince on the white horse to come. These fairy tales are key examples of how children form incorrect prejudices about gender roles. This book is a children's book that talks about being yourself and being equal, free from prejudice. The princess in this story throws away her cumbersome dress and bravely saves the prince. The prince, who is bad at hunting, discovers that he is good at sewing, cooking and gardening after meeting the princess. Eventually, they get married and the princess acts as the king, governing the country, while the prince becomes her husband. The writer shows the main characters doing what they like and are good at, without gender prejudice, in order to enhance gender equality for the readers. Goh Jungsoon, the illustrator, helped to emphasize the main theme of the book by drawing the prince and princess as ordinary, without any fancy appearances.
