About the book

William Makepeace Thackeray's The Rose and the Ring is a comic fairy tale set in the imaginary kingdoms of Paflagonia and Crim Tartary. Princes, princesses, magical objects and mistaken identities become part of a playful satire on fairy-tale conventions, royal ambition and social pretension. Written for children but full of humour for adults, the story combines fantasy, parody and Thackeray's characteristic wit.
