Helen Carr paints a complex portrait of a man who held the levers of power on the English and European stage, passionately upheld chivalric values, pressed for the Bible to be translated into English, and patronized the arts.

“The Frog Prince,” also known as “The Frog King, or Iron Henry,” is a German fairy tale. It was collected by the Brothers Grimm and is the first story in their collection of “Children’s and Household Tales,” published in 1812. The tale has captivated audiences for many years, offering moral lessons about keeping promises, looking beyond appearances, and the power of love and perseverance. A beautiful, but spoiled, princess often played with her golden ball by a well in the woods. One day, she dropped the ball into the well and began to cry.

In this brilliant retelling of the classic tale about the transcendent power of love, author Stephen Mitchell writes, "There are two kinds of women: those who marry princes and those who marry frogs.” While the frogs never become princes, over the course of an ordinary marriage, a prince may turn into a frog. However, Mitchell tells of a different kind of love story. This adult fairytale is the story of a meditative frog's love for a rebellious princess, how she came to love him in spite of herself, and how her refusal to compromise helped him become what he was truly meant to be.

In the tale, a spoiled princess reluctantly befriends the Frog Prince, whom she met after dropping a golden ball into a pond under a linden tree, and he retrieves it for her in exchange for her friendship. The Frog Prince, who is under a wicked fairy's spell, magically transforms back into a handsome prince.
