fairy story princess and the pea This little gem of a story by Hans Christian Andersen reveals the ultimate test to find out whether or not a girl is a true princess. It is short, but sweet, and an enduring favourite. The English text is the Andrew Lang version, from his Yellow Fairy book, first published in 1894.

Read by Natasha. Duration just 4.30


There was once upon a time a Prince who wanted to marry a Princess, but she must be a true Princess. So he traveled through the whole world to find one, but there was always something against each. There were plenty of Princesses, but he could not find out if they were true Princesses. In every case there was some little defect, which showed the genuine article was not yet found. So he came home again in very low spirits, for he had wanted very much to have a true Princess. One night there was a dreadful storm; it thundered and lightened and the rain streamed down in torrents. It was fearful! There was a knocking heard at the Palace gate, and the old King went to open it.

There stood a Princess outside the gate; but oh, in what a sad plight she was from the rain and the storm! The water was running down from her hair and her dress into the points of her shoes and out at the heels again. And yet she said she was a true Princess!

‘Well, we shall soon find that!’ thought the old Queen. But she said nothing, and went into the sleeping-room, took off all the bed-clothes, and laid a pea on the bottom of the bed. Then she put twenty mattresses on top of the pea, and twenty eider-down quilts on the top of the mattresses. And this was the bed in which the Princess was to sleep.

The next morning she was asked how she had slept.

‘Oh, very badly!’ said the Princess. ‘I scarcely closed my eyes all night! I am sure I don’t know what was in the bed. I laid on something so hard that my whole body is black and blue. It is dreadful!’

Now they perceived that she was a true Princess, because she had felt the pea through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down quilts.

No one but a true Princess could be so sensitive.

So the Prince married her, for now he knew that at last he had got hold of a true Princess. And the pea was put into the Royal Museum, where it is still to be seen if no one has stolen it. Now this is a true story.

So Bertie says that’s how you tell a real princess. Sadie says she would never sit on a pea, but still Bertie won’t say that she’s a real princess and now she’s in a bit of a huff. I’m sure she will cheer up soon because she likes Bertie really.

    Hello! I first off wanted to tell you that I have spotlighted your podcast on my show, MommyPOD Show #9.

    Second of all, after listening to you all – I had to download all the other episodes because my daughter is now hooked in listening to the stories in the car when I plug in the iPod.

    Thanks for giving the kids something to listen to that is not only entertaining, but age appropriate!!

    This storynory was really short but really good!!Espessally the part about the 20 mattereses and the 20 quilts!I think this is a good way to know if a real princess is standing at your door,trying hard to get inside & prove that she is a real princess or not!

    I liked the adjectives and how they described where the water was going down, (e.g down her hair.) Wow! 20 mattresses and 20 quilts.The prince must LOVE the princess before he marries her !(:

  • Navya

    I liked the story of ‘The Princess and the Pea’ a little.

    I find it strange that the princess can feel the pea under twenty mattresses and twenty quilts. I find it hard to believe that her back turns blue.

  • Lilaine
    Posted March 9, 2008 at 2:25 pm | Permalink

    Natasha did a good job at telling the story because she made it exciting with her nice soft voice and clear words.

    On my opinion no one can really feel a pea through 20 mattresses and 20 quilts.I think the princess didn’t sleep well because it is very uncomfortable to lie on top of a very high mattres.

    But oh, I do miss the Lovely Princess Beatrice !

    And so I have asked our friend Sophie to paint a picture of her. And we’ll have one soon.
