Lady Agatha Speaks Her Mind
About
If anyone else had been her fairy godmother, Lady Agatha’s birthday party would have gone swimmingly.
It really wasn’t Agatha’s fault that she insulted all those guests. After preparing for years to receive a select list of suitors for her charming, fairy-blessed hand, the last thing she wanted to do was alienate the lot of them … but her godmother’s final gift was, well, difficult to control. Now her father doesn’t care that she didn’t mean to call the visiting foreign prince a pathetic little fungus–the damage has been done.
Prince Limplemoyne would’ve been more offended if he was actually attending the party to court Agatha, but that’s not what brought him to these backwoods, fairy-infested mountains. He just wants to find a godmother powerful enough to free him from the royal life he never asked for. But when a mischievous fairy answers his plea in an unexpected way, he finds himself suddenly stuck with the beautiful, sharp-tongued Lady Agatha. Fairies can’t help them get out of this unwanted alliance–they’ll have to stop bickering long enough to figure it out on their own.
Lady Agatha Speaks Her Mind is a no-spice, standalone reimagining of King Thrushbeard, perfect for readers who like both whimsy and comedy in their mutually-annoyed-strangers-to-lovers romance.
Praise for this book
Clever and heartwarming, this humorous King Thrushbeard retelling underscores the absurdity of beauty standards and social expectations. Agatha and Lem are adorable adversaries, and their journey together is a delight.
Elisabeth Aimee Brown has cracked the recipe for the very best fairy tale retelling with this one! Take all the fun of a heartfelt adventure like THE PRINCESS BRIDE, blend it together with a Brothers Grimm tale, add a dash of Jane Austen’s wit, and then bake this in a Fairy Godmother’s oven until golden—and you’ll end up with the delightful confection that is LADY AGATHA SPEAKS HER MIND. Sweet yet complex, the story will leave you satisfied and smiling—and wishing for another book by this author.
A treat for fans of Ella, Enchanted! While taking us on a comedic enemies-to-lovers romp with two disaster-prone protagonists (not to mention a despicable cast of suitors and delightfully unhinged fairy godmother), Lady Agatha Speaks Her Mind speaks to our deep needs to be free, to be known, and to be loved. I inhaled it!
