Day 20: A first.
The very first book I’d ever read on my own was Marianna Mayer’s The Prince and the Princess. It’s based off an old Bohemian fairytale and is surprisingly dark for a children’s story, but the illustrations are beautiful and the story itself holds up strangely well; I’ve gone back to it as an adult and it is still an entertaining, engaging read.
Plus, there was magic and mutant freaks and a giant squid! There was an entire city turned to stone, and a beautiful frozen princess and a prince who was kind of useless on his own! There was an evil wizard who could turn himself into different monsters and a magic stained-glass window and one of the three mutant-like guys who helped the prince out on his quest had laser vision! That’s right – laser vision. It was awesome.
