Some girls are born princesses and others become them, but everyone has to start somewhere. With the help of the book's narrator, Princess Petal, the reader learns the craft of being a princess, from etiquette and deportment to contacting your fairy godmother, dealing with enchantments, finding a prince and attending balls. Drawing on a wealth of traditional fairytales, this book's unique approach has a more practical edge than many rival titles.
