Prince Hannibal Hippolyth Hyacinth has no interest in tin soldiers, chain mail, and saber swings. Why can't he be like his seven sisters? But all the advice he gathers on how to become a princess only leaves him more confused. Until Hannibal finally realizes that he must ignite the princess within himself. To fulfill Hannibal's heartfelt wish, Melanie Laibl and Michael Roher bring together the cornerstones of the fairy tale world: In this picture book for young and old, a cheeky narrative tone meets a refreshing visual language, opulence meets simplicity, and many traditional role models are reinterpreted. Princess Hannibal is a story about disguise, straight from the life of a child. And perhaps a little more.
