Illustrated by John Manders
Meet Marvin.
He’s not rich. He’s not very confident. And he’s a bit on the skinny side.
Marvin also happens to have the help of a very unusual fairy.
And the princess he’s trying to impress isn’t so typical either.
Yes, it may be true that Marvin is not such a hunk. But he’s honest. He’s kind. He’s clever. And if given the chance …
… he’d make such a prince!

“Bar-el adds plenty of shtick to his retelling of a folk tale sometimes called ‘The Three Peaches’. … A very funny rendition equally suited to reading or telling.”
Kirkus Review, September 15, 2007
“Bar-el’s snappy text and Mander’s animated, playful exaggerated gouache and colored pencil pictures provide plenty of laughs.”
Publishers Weekly, November 12, 2007
“Dan Bar-el’s splendid Such a Prince uses all the elements of traditional tales but adds an invigorating dash of zaniness that makes this very much his own.”
Quill & Quire, December, 2007
