The Frog Prince

Summary

In this brilliant retelling of the classic fairy-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. A magical tale that is both poignant and profound, The Frog Prince—performed by the author—opens the heart and will both amuse and enlighten its listeners.
