This book was an adventure story because the Queen helped the Prince escape from the sorcerer. It had a happy ending. My favourite character was the sorcerer!

My favorite character is the prince. He learned how to weave carpets, and that skill saved his life.

I liked the prince because how he never gave up and tried to learn to do something just for her. I would recommend this book to a lazy friend.

I think it was an interesting book. Because it was very romantic and I like how the girl was very honest and kind. I really like this book and I want to find a lot more books like this one. And I think when the prince went hunting for the second time, the sorcerer was very evil and cunning but I wish he was banished from the whole world !!! And my favourite part was when the lady and the prince got married and got children and it was a happy ending.
